I look forward to autumn and fall in Maine each year. The weather is for the most part settled with clear days and cool nights. The days are getting shorter and an 8 AM start no longer feels like Don 2011mid-day to me. The last several mornings I have been pretty much perfect cool but not cold with no wind so that the water is perfectly calm. We have had wind later in the day that can make fly fishing a challenge for those learning to fly fish.
I have enjoyed several family fishing trips this week and can safely report that the perching is as good as it gets. Yesterday it was a fish a cast for a good part of the afternoon under perfect blue skies as you can see.
For those of you interested in larger game the bass fishing is also heading toward the fall peak. Take some time and wet a line before summer is over!
Family Perch Fishing Trips
There is a lot to see especially if you take the time out to look. I was on mackerel fishing last week and there were small hawks of some sort in the spruce trees on the closest island. I commented that I saw those birds each August and have never taken the time to figure out what they were. That was enough to get me to get out a pair of binoculars from under the console in the boat.
