The forecast this morning called for scattered showers with the chance of a thundershower. I have had today’s reservation for some time and the day could not be changed. So off we went!

I offer a family fishing trip designed to introduce families with kids to fishing, over the years it has become a very popular trip. We do not fish for big fish focusing instead on perch and sunfish and it is possible that the kids will each catch a dozen or so fish in an afternoon.

April 1 was the opening day of open water fishing season in this part of Maine. That changed a short while ago and we can now fish through the ice until it melts and then in the open water right away. This change was of course unrecognized by nature. The ice is still in on most lakes and ponds and with rain last night the streams and rivers are high, cold and the water dirty.
