It has been very quiet here at Moose Look Lodge as the little snow we had melted and gave way to daffodils. Unfortunately, it is dangerously dry here in the Western Mountains. The above picture taken today is of one of my favorite land locked salmon and trout lakes. The water is still a couple of hundred feet from shore making it difficult to get a square stern canoe and motor in the water without risking limb. This pond is 110 feet deep and 106 acres in size. Usually by this time it is full, we will have to be patient.

On a brighter note, a fellow guide and friend Joanne tells me she is seeing fish but she can't get them to take a fly yet. The water levels in the river are still high even with the water shortage, it is very difficult to read all the different waterways this year due to the unusual weather. It is still early in the season and the fishing will get better soon.

We are looking to acquire a new boat this year, unfortunately we had a bad experience with a dealer in Windham who sold a Lund boat out from under us last night after I thought we had a deal. In any event, we are aggressively looking to purchase a well equipped Lund with a four stroke outboard to accommodate our guest in quiet comfort while trolling the big lakes.

So stay tuned for my next update on the fishing scene.
