It is the practical end of my season, the boat went to be winterized last Friday. I was hoping for one last fishing trip on a warm afternoon in the next few weeks. A possibility that looked less likely with every passing day. This was a great year to be sure even though it ended on a sad note. Our winter wood is in all stacked and ready. I noticed today that I am making more frequent trips to the pile in the garage.
I’m home from the season guiding grouse hunters at Libby Camps in northern Maine. Unlike my other seasons my days consist of teamwork; me and the dogs. In reality it is the dogs and me because I can’t smell 
well enough to find any birds they are the show. My part is to get the dogs and hunters in the places where success is more likely and then keep everyone safe. The dogs happily do the rest.
If you have nothing else to do on a cold November evening join us! Who knows what I might say. Georges River Trout Unlimited (GRTU) welcomes Don Kleiner, Master Maine Guide, to speak at the November 11th chapter meeting in Rockport. Don has been creating delightful outdoor memories for clients over 
the last 35 years.
