It will be Christmas before you know it and if you are looking for books for a flyfisher, I am in stock on all of my titles. For more information on the books and how to order, see right hand column of this website. Of course, I will personalize and autograph them for you. Anyone ordering before Xmas will also get a flyfishing Maine sticker, which you can put anywhere – I like mine on my car window. If you just want just the sticker or see other sticker options, you can go to www.reclaimedsignco.com.
Shops that carry all of my books include: Royal River Book Store in Yarmouth, Maine, Rangeley Sport Shop in Rangeley, LLCotes in Errol NH, and Evening Sun Fly Shop in Mass.
Next Wednesday, December 15, I am giving a zoom presentation to Downeast Trout Unlimited but anyone can zoom in, don’t have to be a TU member. Just go to the Downeast TU Facebook page and register. The title is:
Tactics and Fly Patterns for Catching Brook Trout and Landlocked Salmon Throughout the Year.” I use photos and videos to show how to successfully fish for salmonids from ice-out through the fall spawning season. Look forward to seeing you there.
Early December became seasonally cold and I only got fishing one more time. I took my kayak for a spin on Dundee Pond casting a Cosohammer streamer (brook trout colors) towards springs and inlets to see if some brook trout might be hanging out. I got several immediate strikes, see photo below:
By the first weekend of December, small ponds and lakes were starting to freeze up in central and northern Vermont, NH, and Maine, so unless we get a real warm spell, I might be limited to ice fishing for the foreseeable future.
