I am writing this shortly after the July 4th weekend.

What crazy weather over the last week or so; a couple torrential downpours, very hot weather, cold weather, strong winds from the east, and then the west. It made it tough to canoe, boat, or fish any decent-sized body of water.

There are green and brown drakes around the local lakes along with some hexes but the hatches have been sporatic, at least where I have b een. Maybe more stable weather will strengthin the remaining lake hatches.

The rain has brought more fish into some of the rivers around Rangeley. A few anglers report some really nice fish caught while others report things being slow. I guided a group on day last week on a few local rivers and it was relatively slow with mostly smaller fish caught until one guy landed a landlocked salmon of at least four pounds on a small classic black ghost.

In other news, I have made a decision to stop guiding for the rest of this year and perhaps next year as well. I have a number of really exciting writing projects in front of me and I only have time to do two of the following three activities: fish, guide, write. I have been doing too much of the latter two and not enough fishing so I am eliminating guiding, at least for now. I am still giving flyfishing classes so let me know if you are interested and I will announce some possible dates.

My flyfishing book is virtually sold out so my publisher is doing a second printing. We have made a few changes to improve readability and correct a few minor errors.

One of my projects is to revise the book Flyfisher’s Guide to Northern New England which is a “where to go” book. It “forces” me to fish all sorts of rivers around New England. I have included a few photos from some of my trips this spring and summer.
