The value in that informal setting was clear on this morning's family trip; a chance to talk with one son with an interest in the loons he was seeing about their natural history. Or helping the youngest boy learn to use and cast an open faced spinning reel. That is the fun for me and the value for my clients.
Those kinds of experiences are simply not available on large group trips and those experiences are what Maine Outdoors provides.
I hope to see you before the end of the summer!

Tuesday afternoon I arrived back in the office after a very successful family fishing trip and retrieved the phone messages. One of them was a lengthy message from someone wanting to arrange a trip for between 20 and 30 people and I knew immediately that was not a fit. Maine Outdoors specializes in small trips designed for a small party or family and a guide. Large commercial trips are not what we are about ours are small and exclusive.| In this issue |

Eaglets Fledged, Loon Chicks Hatched
In the last couple of weeks the eaglets have all left their nests and are now flying around. Eagle watching trips are more of a challenge for the guide because while they are in the same general area they are not in the nest tree waiting to be fed. Still eager to be fed by the parents they put up quite a racket when an adult is in the area, pleading for yet another meal.

Assistant on a Canoe Trip
by Brynna Skov
As Don's assistant, I've helped out with practically every aspect of a trip - from taking reservations, to keeping the tackle box organized, to washing out the boats after a long day on the water. Everything, that is, except for actually coming along on a trip with Don and clients. So it was a real treat to go along with a young couple and their enthusiastic eight-year-old son, on a nature exploration trip last month in the role of a photographer.

Checking availability and making reservations
This year there are some changes on www.maineoutdoors.biz that make it easy to check availability for the trip of your choice and make a reservation. If you are thinking about a date you can check the availability calendar.
From any of the trip pages you can click on the make a reservation link and Time Trade will show you the slots available for the trip that you are interested in. From there the process for making a reservation is pretty straightforward. As always I will be in touch to confirm the details and make any additional arrangements.
Of course you can still call Maine Outdoors at (207) 785-4496 and make a reservation the old low tech way. No matter how you choose to make the arrangements I am looking forward to seeing each of you this summer.
