The weather has turned around nicely here in the last two days with cool temps both day and night. The only thing missing to give us a great end to the season is a rise in water levels. Most places have not seen a good movement of fish due to...

Not much has changed here over the last week. I am hoping that the next weather system that is working its way through will get rid of this humid weather we have had. Cool nights are essential to bring the water temps down to a better range for the fish....

It was a pleasant day outdoors today. Cloudy and cool good for the fish and the fisherman. As of yesterday the Kennebago and upper Magalloway were still dirty from last week's flood. This dirty water most likely kept any fresh salmon from moving up the Kennebago. The Cupsuptic River is...

We have had 1/2 inch of rain in the last 24 hours but I don't expect it will impact the water levels. Flows are still low but the water temps are also. This weekend is predicted to be very hot so that might change. There are lot of bugs around...
