New England is famous for the changeable weather but this spring takes it to the extreme. In the last week we have had warm sun, snow, rain and of course clouds and wind to make the picture complete. In spite of the variety this spring seems to be coming a week or two ahead of normal For those that fish the rivers and streams the alder leaves will be the size of a mouse’s ear after a couple more sunny days. It will then be time to chase trout in the river. Actually I have heard a few good reports lately but got rained out on my most recent attempt to check the fishing personally.
I also heard that the alewives have arrived at the fishway in Damariscotta at least two weeks early in my book. For those of you that birdwatch the ospreys are back and I expect the warbler migrations to be in full swing by early May. So in spite of the changes in the weather the season is well underway.
