You can imagine my surprise this morning when I opened my phone to find my name and Maine Outdoors featured in National Geographic! An article titled “You haven't been to Maine until you've visited these small towns ” was published today and highlights the true character of our state—the dirt roads the warmly lit inns and the people who make Maine...

It is fascinating how the universe presents related topics. I started my day discussing a difficult situation involving a now unlicensed and unethical guide. It was a stark reminder of how important professional integrity is to our profession and its public perception.

I admit to being lulled into a vision that the warm comfortable fall would last longer. Say until Christmas. Clearly mother nature had other ideas though. Last week Argy and I enjoyed a vacation that included Thanksgiving dinner with family in New Jersey and other stops around the region. Like the fall up to that point it was warm and pretty much...

We all knew it would have to happen (it has been several years since I raised rates)  and here we are. Rates for Maine Outdoors trips will increase on January 1.

Been a year since we had solar panels installed along with a battery backup. No issues to report infact it works silently and takes no time from us to operate.

This morning was breezy and cloudy with the threat of rain on the horizon. Very similar to last Monday with water temperatures having fallen a little further. Last week my clients did well on bass pickerel and pike. I had nothing on my calendar and decided to take advantage of the conditions and see if I could do as well as they did. Keep in mind...

Aldo Leopold opens A Sand County Almanac with the thought: “There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot. These essays are the delights and dilemmas of one who cannot.” That sentiment really resonates with me.

Until today October has felt a lot like a summer month. Warm and dry with little wind. The leaves started to change color but the air did not feel much like fall. This morning though we were greeted with a spectacular sunrise followed by rain showers and a wind shift at high tide. The change is remarkable; the air has a chill to it and the breeze...

I know that almost every client asks to see a moose in Maine. I always admit that while I have seen moose on many trips (even on the saltwater) it is always a special almost random moment. This documentary looks at the issues surrounding management of our moos herd and the approach being taken. Full disclosure I have worked with represented and kn...

A couple of weeks ago Argy spent some time in Little Deer Isle. I drove up for dinner one evening which was delightful and delicious. I had a commitment the next day and left right before sunset. Heading home I drove over Caterpillar Hill in Sedgewick where I was surprised by this sunset view. Granted pretty great.

I know I go on about how delightful this time of year is without much for proof. For proof here is a little video of less than a minute casting flies to feeding bass on a local pond. I know you did not ask but as an aside I have only seen bass push bait to the surface a few times in a long career and this was one of them. I could see the fish feed...
