It is hot this week to be sure with temperatures near 90 and a west wind that keeps the sea breeze from cooling us off in the afternoon. The signs of the coming fall are all around though. A few leaves have changed on the trees that are under stress, like those growing in wet areas. Goldenrod is in full bloom and the sumac is magnificent with its bright red berries. For me though it was driven home this morning when I walked out to get the newspaper and shuffled through fallen leaves in the driveway.
This blog post was extensively quoted by George Smith on Downeast’s web site. My original post was about how my nature trips simply do not sell very well when compared with my fishing trips.
Last fall I enjoyed a day that I labeled a pickerel panic. Today was not an equal to that day but we are well on the way to some exciting fall fishing. This morning’s clients met me at the appointed time in a light rain. They decided that since they had multiple trips booked in the next week that they would pass on fishing this morning. Since I was ready to go and now had a few free hours. I decided to do a little fishing on my own.
