Hurricane Irene brought several days of cancellations for me. Pretty much as you would expect folks either need to stay put or get home and it was simply unsafe to be on the water for a couple of days. No complaints here at all, it got me to thinking about cancellations I have had over the years. As a licensed Maine Guide I am required by law to show up if I tell you I will meet you, not to mention a strong desire to deliver on any promise I have made.
Today my clients and I enjoyed near perfect weather for a fishing trip on Seven Tree and Round ponds. Clear blue skies with a breeze from the west and just enough white clouds to show off the color. It was cool when we started and when out of the sun a jacket was in order. A few trees along the water have started to turn red and the grass along the river has that golden autumn hue.
I have had several family fishing trips this week and can safely report that the perching is as good as it gets. Yesterday it was a fish a cast 
for a good part of the afternoon under perfect blue skies as you can see.
