Another drastic change in the weather is the highlight of this report. Today was 30 + degrees cooler than yesterday. After a cold night tonight water temps should cool to a level more conducive to fish being active. We received a half inch of rain last night but it had...

Dry and warm is how to describe our current weather. Water levels are low on the freestones and normal on the tailwaters. Our biggest enemy now is warm nights and bright days. Last night was below 40 degrees and the water cooled down nicely. My best success this week has...

It already looks like fall in our area of the world. Everything is in place for an early start to the fall fishing season all we need now is some good rain to give the rivers a lift. Water temps are as low as I have ever seem them for...

The area waters have recovered from last week's warmth. With a couple of cooler days this week and the forecasted cool trend over the weekend I would expect the fishing to stay good. The Kennebago was only 62 degrees yesterday morning when we began fishing. The Magalloway has been fishing...

Today was a cool and wet day in our area. We received over half an inch of rain and the air temps were below 60 degrees. I would expect the water levels to rise slightly but still be fishable. The Kennebago was 68 degrees yesterday but dropped to 61 after...

Not a lot has changed in the past week. For every warm day we get, 4 cloudy days follow. The cooler temps and higher water levels will hopefully bring a fishing season that lasts later than usual. Water temps are staying in the 50 - 54 degree range. Hatches...

There is a lot going on in the mountains this week but it doesn't involve catching fish. The good news is that the ice is out on most bodies of water. The bad news is that the rivers are all at very high flow levels. There is not a place...

There has not been much change here since last week but change is certainly in the air. The area lakes most likely will all be at ice out by this time next week and this will begin the warm up in the rivers. Today the Magalloway was at 37 degrees...
