Close Encounter of the Loon Kind
Yesterday I was guiding a husband and wife pair of fly anglers. All was going well a few fish had been captured but nothing remarkable. As I was working the boat around the outside of a flat so that they could fish the dropoff a loon appeared about 10 feet from the boat. Not at all concerned with us or the boat and close enough that the red eyes were quite visible.

I have always offered custom trips for folks who ask. Over the years those have included small plane trips to find big White Pines in the remote corners of the North woods, photographing moose, and even a salt marsh.
Rain and wind this morning; chilly enough that I started a fire in the woodstove to remove the chill from the house. A good day to be at my desk and not on the water for sure.
