We are in the middle of our first hot spell of the summer. Actually not really that hot compared to the rest of the east coast, in the 80’s, but with high humidity. Yesterday morning there was little wind just enough breeze to keep any bugs at bay. Launched the Grand Lake canoe on one of my favorite bass ponds, this one is small by Maine standards at only 250 or so acres, just the right size for a short fishing trip. The bass are spawning on the shallow flats and it was some of the best sight fishing you could wish for.

Saturday was the Union Spring Hooked on Fishing Event the turnout was nothing short of amazing with well over 200 at Ayer Park. Baiting hooks, casting lines, eating hot dogs and oh yes even catching a few fish. You can see articles and pictures about the event in the Courier Gazette and Village Soup. Both papers have excellent photos of the day, none of me though.

I have been appointed to the Natural Resource Agency Task Force. A group tasked with reviewing the various natural resource agencies in state government and thinking about the way they deliver services to their constituents.
