After another shot of water on Monday some streams and rivers are back to low and warm. The Kennebago saw no new fish show up and is low again. I haven't been to the Magalloway but assume that some new fish came up with the high flow from last week...

Good news, 3.5 inches of rain this week. Most of the water is at a good level that you would see in June. How long it will stay there I do not know. I don't know if this will bring fish up the Kennebago or not but my guess is...

Hot and dry is the word from Rangeley this week. Water temps are at the upper extent of the comfort range for the fish on the lakes. The small streams and headwaters are still cool but there is not much water in them. The good news is that rain is...

Summer rolls on this week. We did receive 1/2 inch of rain on Sunday which brought up the streams for a day. If you can fish the small water after a rain storm you could have some fun. Water temps in some of the headwaters I visited yesterday were in...

The dog days are here. August weather in July. We have received an inch of rain in the last week but it has not had any effect on the rivers. Temps in the first part of the week were good but have rebounded after the latest heat. A big change...

The latest cool down began today. After 3 days of heat the weather has turned cool and unsettled. On the Magalloway there have been large stonefly hatches. Stones and tan caddis are the bugs to copy for the rest of the month. A good way to get a look at...

The mini warm spell that we had the beginning of the week is over. It was broken by a period of rain that passed thru yesterday. Rain fall totals varied greatly. At our house we only had maybe 1/2 inch while the headwaters of the rivers had inches worth. Water...

Low water continues to persist on the local rivers. The good news is that increased flows on the Magalloway and Rapid are on the way. At the Rapid they have been running 1200 at night and the first recreational releases on the Mag. will start this week end. This means...

Summer weather has returned. After a long run of cloudy and cool days the water has cooled down into the 56-60 degree range. This cool down was just what we needed. Flows are still low due to the lack of rain but hopefully there will be some before it warms...

May has returned today. A high of 47 degrees, grey skies and gusty winds. Today was not dry fly weather on the area waters. However, this cool weather will really help to lower the water temps. The Magalloway was at 50 or so today and the Kennebago was at 54...

It remains dry here in the mountains. The dam controlled rivers have good flow levels but could stand to have more water for the sake of the fish. The free flowing rivers are low and warming up to summer time temps. The Mag was at 50 degrees today while the...

We have typical fishing conditions to report this first part of April. The area rivers are low, clear and cold. Some Brookies are being caught on the Magalloway from the Bennet Rd. bridge down river. I can bet that there are also some fish for the catching on the Rapid....
