Some things are constant. Birds migrating, weather cooling, days getting shorter, certain chores need doing like putting in the winter firewood. All of those are happening or have happened here but added to the list is an annual trip to the North Maine Wood for Argy and I. She enjoys a few days off of the grid while the dogs and I walk through the nearby woods looking for grouse and woodcock.

As the season slows, I have some time to reflect on all that happened since late April and how much I enjoyed almost every minute. To me the best part is having someone who has never been fishing before choosing a Maine Outdoors fishing trip for their first experience.

Fall is without a doubt my favorite time of year. While this year it was slow to start it has not been a disappointment as you can see. I have enjoyed spending many of these days on the water with clients who make me appreciate it even more.
