I’ve been on Megunticook Lake in Camden twice this week with two different clients bass fishing. Fishing was a little slow on Monday; the fish preferred flies. I am a using secret pattern custom tied for me, very nice when it works. Bass are just
starting to bed and I would guess that the spawn will start next week in earnest. From here on fishing only gets better!
This spring has been without a doubt one of the best we have experienced in a long time.. The river is not running at flood
stage, it has been warm and pleasant most of the time, and the flowers are at least a couple of weeks ahead of schedule. The only down side is that we have had lots of wind, in fact today it is out of the northwest at easily 25 mph.
But no stripers yet. Captain George Harris of Superfly Charters and I make our early trips searching for fish together. Saves gas and makes for a much more enjoyable outing. Not to mention we each solve the same problem of catching fish for clients a little differently. So it is a gret chance to learn from each other. While there were no stripers to report this morning we were treated to the early season Saint George River wildlife show.
