I usually don’t talk much about trout fishing. The best of the fishing is usually in late April and early May. Before there are visitors around to have me guide them. Many springs in the last several years have been wet keeping rivers high and not safe to wade. But this spring has been different; with low water levels, very pleasant temperatures and cooperative fish have all combined to have me guiding more trout fishing than normal this year..jpg)
This weekend had me on a local river that has never been stocked so that the fish are all native wild brook trout. The river was at a perfect level and the fish were taking dry flies which combined for an exceptionally enjoyable morning of fishing. We were treated to sightings of ospreys and eagles along the river there to take advantage of the alewife run. Alewives were also present in good numbers but did not seem to discourage the trout.
No fish of exceptional size but rather a very enjoyable morning of trout fishing. I am on the salt water tomorrow morning but hope to be able to schedule a return trip this week to take advantage of near perfect conditions and help someone catch a few of those pretty fish.

I really enjoyed this fishing trip with Don
As a relatively new fly fisherman from Dripping Springs, Texas, my trip to Maine had to include some fly fishing. Staying at the Windward House Bed & Breakfast in Camden, Maine, the innkeepers referred me to Don and Maine Outdoors. I spent two morinings with Don, the first on Lake Megunticook fishing for bass and the second on the Duck Trap fishing for Brook Trout. Don is a great guide and companion and we had a blast those two mornings. The weather was beautiful, and the fishing was fantastic. I'm hoping to return next year and do some more great Maine fishing.
I just love trouts and trout fishing!
I really enjoyed the trout fishing information you have shared! Now, I know what time is best to go and fish for delicious trouts! I just love baked trouts for dinner!
