It’s here, just in case you were wondering. In fact, waters are warming daily, and some of the tribs look like late July/August conditions; skinny. I was able to do a quick fish on the Andro yesterday, and landed a couple fish, including a nice brown. The state has been putting in some larger fish, so there should be some good tight-lined battles this year. There are some mayflies and stones around, so things should only get better from here, with caddis by the end of the month. I believe June is probably the best month, but don’t put off fishing because the good fishing will be over before you know it.

Also broke in my new Scott Radian 905/4, this could be the real ‘Goldilocks’ rod. Fast and feel. If I had to have just one rod, I think this might be it.

I Hope to see this guy and his buddies in the near future….book a trip and you could be holding it!

That’s right, our quite neighbor to the north, Canada. I spent 3 days chasing the elusive Atlantic Salmon and was rewarded with 3 hook-ups, and landed two beasts, the smaller one being 31″ (no tape on the bigger fish pictured). Though the fishing and conditions were tough, it was worth all the effort when I hooked up. Amazingly strong fish, despite not seeing the backing, these fish had my 8 weight doubled over, and heading upstream of me at times, unreal.

Guide season officially starts tomorrow for me, and conditions look good. I have a few float trips booked for the latter part of the month, but still some dates open for May and June so book now, you won’t regret it!
