A reunion and wedding had me travelling in all of the New England states except Rhode Island over the weekend. For those of you wondering if it is time to visit to see the leaves change, the answer is yes. Even in southern Connecticut many trees are now showing color. Southern Vermont and New Hampshire have more color than we do here on the Maine coast at the moment but we are not far off from the peak fall display.
Saturday I was in Bethel to fish in the Upper Androscoggin 2 Fly Tournament. I fished in a boat sponsored by the Maine Tourism Association (am on the board of Directors). Our oarsman was Mike Gawtry from LL Bean and the second angler was Commissioner Woodcock of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
Earlier this week I had what I suspect will be the last family fishing trip of the season. The leaves are definitely beginning to change and frost is in the forecast for a morning or two in the next several days. I am sure that the pickerel panic will start next week. This is still the season where I have almost all of my equipment out in use because of the variety of trips that I offer in a short period of time.
