Happy mid-winter, but the days are getting longer and spring is around the corner! Covid once again is derailing the usual winter fly-fishing events with everything for the most part cancelled or postponed. Currently, I have absolutely no presentations planned for the next few months, but then I will get very busy. On April 1,2, and 3, I will be at the Maine Sportsman Show and giving presentations on how to catch pressured (i.e. smart) trout and salmon including hopefully some old big-boys. April 22, 23, and 24 will be the Marlborough Fly Fishing Show, postponed from this coming weekend. I will present each day: Patterns and Tactics for Pressured  N.E. Trout/Salmon that Refuse Usual Methods

I am also in the process of planning a few other presentations to smaller groups. I will keep you posted. Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram @mainelyflyfishing. I am going to keep this blog more active as well.

I have all my books in stock including my 2021/2022 updated Flyfisher’s Guide to New England. Most shops and stores that sell fly fishing equipment sells at least one title of my books. I am also in most of the Sherman Book’s locations. If you don’t see one you are interested in, ask. Or go to this website and order directly from me. Amazon is always an option.

The last month’s weather has been variable in Maine. Short cold snaps, followed by brief wqrm ups, and snow that ends in rain. Not much of a snowpack anywhere except perhaps the far north. During the warm spells, fly casters have been catching fish. I have heard good reports from the Mousam and photos of nice browns and brook trout from who knows where (although I have a few guesses).

But as we hit mid-January, colder air has resulted in thickening ice and even the hardcore fly casters have moved on to ice fishing or fly tying. The early part of the fly-fishing season was great if you were a risk-taker and didn’t mind easing out to ice that was less than three inches thick. Now, ice is safe in almost all places except the larger lakes or where current runs.

I have gotten out a few times myself. I find it fascinating that huge largemouths can be caught through the ice. Bucketmouths just seem more natural to a slough in Florida or a big lake in Texas. Yet, my friend Will and I (mostly Will) have caught fish from 3 to 6 pounds or larger so far.

Finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that due to the warm December (and a little help from a coldframe, we harvested and ate fresh vegetables from the garden until the end of the month including tomatoes that we ripened on our windowsills
