The usual summer pace has been here for more than a month. Only a few days or parts of days off but before I know it the goldenrod will be in full bloom and the first red maple leaf will show up on the shore of one of the ponds. Signaling the end of the summer season and the transition to fall for me. I have enjoyed the variety of trips this summer that is for sure. Not only different trips with new clients but some have asked to visit places I do not normally visit. Megunticook lake in Camden, Rockland Harbor and Damariscotta Lake have all been on my calendar in the last few weeks.
The variety keeps it more than a little interesting and keeps the memory working. Striper fishing continues to be a huge disappointment this summer but the great freshwater bass fishing has more than made up for it. Damariscotta Lake last Saturday was as notable for the nice bass my party caught as it was for the almost total lack of boat traffic. I kept looking around thinking it is the first weekend in August isn’t it? But after the fog burned off and the showers stopped a few boats and fishermen were out and about but not the numbers I expected to see in the middle of summer.
