September Summary

All and All, September was a good month. There was just enough rain in the middle of the month to give the rivers some flow and keep the fish moving. The weather was warmer than normal and the river temperatures stayed warmer as well which was both good and bad. Towards the end of the month, with no new rain and heavy fishing pressure, the fishing definitely became tougher. Still, I observed being caught (or caught myself) dozens and dozens (maybe close to 100) wild trout and salmon over 14 inches (and up to 4 lbs) in September. The Rangeley area continues to have world class fly fishing for wild trout and salmon. The upper and lower Magaloway, upper and lower Kennebago, Upper Dam, and Bemis stream all produced beautiful fish. Perhaps the Rapid did too but I didn’t get there this fall.

Early in the month when the fish were fresher, streamers and large attractor dry flies were the most productive, then on some warmer cloudy days, smaller- more imitative dries were the ticket. Later in the month, when the fish has been fished over, short-line (Czech-style) nymphing was the way to go. As warm as it has been October fishing should hold up well in those waters that are still open.
I will post some pictures and videos soon.
Another book excerpt: Autumn river fishing is such an intellectual exercise. There is a myriad of potential approaches that range from fishing large gaudy streamers on fast sink line to miniscule midge larva on 3-weight rods, and everything in between. Conditions can range from torrents of water to drought, from snow to 80 degrees. Choose the correct approach and fly for the conditions, locate the migrating fish, and you can be rewarded with the fish of the season or even a lifetime. Fish in the wrong location at the wrong time, or choose a fly that doesn’t generate interest and you will catch zip.
