Fly Fishing Report: September 17

9/17/2017

Western Maine Report:

If ever there is a time to hit Western Maine rivers, it's right now! Big trout and salmon are moving into the rivers to spawn and this is the time of the year when you can land a trophy brook trout or landlocked salmon on the fly.  Just because summer is over don't overlook dry fly fishing.  We landed 18" salmon on size 18 dry flies this past weekend.  Parachute patterns like black ants and adams are good bets.  There are still a good number of caddis on the water.  Soft hackles do a great job of imitating emerging caddis.  Nymphs that have been working are pat's rubber legs, copper john, black zebra midge and green caddis larva.  Lastly, those big streamers may not produce a LOT of fish, but they can entice a big fish!  We have a few spots available still this fall, but remember that a lot of rivers close on September 30th.  Get out there!

​Southern Maine Report: 

Smallmouth bass are starting to work back into the shallows to beef up on baitfish before winter time.  Poppers are still producing.  Bass fishing will stay hot through October.  Trout and salmon fishing will start to heat back up in about a month.  We guide in Southern Maine right through Christmas time if the conditions are right.  We don't have any trips booked for November.  With many people hunting this time of the year, you can find a lot of serenity and trout in Southern Maine, which is rare!
