Smallmouth Bass Fishing on Graham Lake in Ellsworth

I consider being able to customize various fishing and nature trips one of the real advantages that Maine Outdoors has to offer. Every trip is tailored to the interests and desires of the folks that are on it. Up to a point of course, I can never make fish bite on demand or birds appear when I need them but you will be in the right place at the right time.

I am frequently asked to fish in another area and I enjoy being flexible enough to meet many of those requests. Recently one of my regular clients asked about fishing near Bar Harbor and my calendar was able to accommodate a trip on Graham Lake in Ellsworth.

The rain that fell over the weekend had cooled the water significantly and we had plenty of northwest wind along with a rapidly rising barometer. Not conditions that lead to joy in a fishing guide’s heart. Graham did not disappoint, while not a fish a minute the smallmouth bass came steadily and as you can see were plenty big enough.

The most interesting aspect of the day was the clouds of yellow pine pollen that the wind carried into the air. At times it felt like you were in a light fog or perhaps smoke. Needless to say I am looking forward to my next request to travel down that way for a day of fishing.
