Since Maine Outdoors was started now 36 years ago I have been proud of my ability to fit everyone who wants to go on a trip into my schedule. Until the last few years it was always possible, I would guide another trip after supper or move something around to make it work. This summer has been very different; my calendar has been filled three weeks out for a good part of it.
So far this has been a very different summer. Fishing has been decent with conditions changing almost every day. Spring and early summer were hot and dry with nowhere near enough rain. July changed all of that with 5 inches in one day and a changed weather pattern since. Now showers a couple of times a week including several afternoon thunderstorms.
Every summer I lose a rod overboard. Always by accident, no one intends for it to happen. This summer is already remarkable for the number of times it has happened. Three, I know hard to believe but true. On the upside two were retrieved intact and ready for another day even if a little soggy.
