As I am working through the year end items that face every small business I came across some of the first Maine Outdoors materials. The date on them was 1986 making the coming year the 30^th anniversary of Maine Outdoors. Quite the milestone!

I look forward to the family fishing trips that I offer every time. The kids are always excited to go and of course catch a few fish. Many families fish with me multiple times over several years.

I presented to a class at the University of Maine last Monday and along with the list of things that I wanted them to know I urged them to learn how to learn. This year provided lots of great memories including a late summer stretch that had me guide a few of my clients that have been with me since I started. My son Noah passed his guides test last winter and is now a Registered Maine Guide.
