The weather has turned warmer, the grass is getting green and I am starting to fish each of my regular spots to check on the boat launches and any changes on the water. For the first few times I am also checking on my equipment to be sure everything is where it should be and working like I expect. Saturday I launched at Megunticook Lake in Camden to have a look around. I took a short video of the conditions  and posted it to Facebook if you want to see for yourself.

At the Orvis Guide Rendezvous we heard about the Orvis Commitment to Conservation which is significant. In the last week I began to wonder if Maine Outdoors measured up and a review of my calendar proved in that it does.

Argy and I just returned from Ashville, NC where I attended the Orvis Guide Rendezvous #OGR18. I enjoy the opportunity to visit and swap ideas with my Orvis Endorsed peers from around the world. What would several hundred fly fishing guides have to talk about for three days you ask?
