On the Saco




Fished the Saco this morning. Started off slow with a couple brookies taken on a hopper. Then switched to a Cooper John and got a few more. Around 8 they started rising but couldn't see what they were going after so put on a size 20 Adams and that was the ticket. For the next hour it was a blast!!!! All brookies. Around 9:30 the kayak hatch started and that send the fish back to the bottom. Caught a few more with nymphs but the river started to get too busy for me so came home. Another nice morning to be out on the river.

Brook Trout Fishing in Maine

Went for a couple days in Maine fishing for brook trout. Had a great time. We used large streamers in hopes for the big ones. The water was fast and high do to the release of the dam during the day but at night they decreased the flow and the water calmed down so it was a bit more manageable. We were able to get a few larger ones to take the fly. Great trip and hope to soon go again.
