Upper Dam

Fishing!

Jess and I went fishing today to the “Upper Dam” located between Mooselookmeguntic Lake, and Richardson Lake.  This looks to be a very popular spot – there were 12 other people fishing around us and 3 were leaving as we got there, especially after the close of regular fishing season since it is open late.  On the lake side of the dam we could see the trout swimming and jumping to feed on the surface.  While we were fishing we saw a couple nice size fish landed, but we weren’t able to catch any ourselves.  I think we were there a little too early in the day, we might go back tomorrow a little later.  It’s a gorgeous location and really looks like a great spot to take a canoe, maybe come up the lower lake to the dam.  Even though we didn’t catch any it was nice to be outside and fishing.  Jess’ cast is really coming along. (She’s been bit by the fishing bug and is quite obsessed with getting her own equipment.  She was rather pissed when she lost her new Black Ghost fly this afternoon.)  :)

Up to Camp

Category: Generalllabree @ 9:39 pm

Went to camp this weekend with Jess, my dad and my good friend Jimmy.  We went to go salmon fishing on the river, however it was clear that many other people had the same plan.  The river had been fished hard and I was only able to round up one salmon from a spot I was familiar with.  We tried everything, old spots, new spots, new flies and fishing for the whole day, unfortunately no one had any better luck.  So instead we went for a drive on the logging roads, and then back to camp for dinner.  The weather was great, the fire was warm and the food was filling.  Nothing recharges the soul like a trip to camp.  Pictures of the trip will be posted soon!
