Fly Fishing Report: May 31

This will be a down and dirty report.  Things are really starting to heat up!  Nymphs are still the ticket in the North country, but fish were taken over the weekend on emergers.  Klinkhamers are a great imitation this time of year for emerging mayflies and caddis.  We caught some fish on a pond on Hendrickson patterns.  Those little buggers are hatching in full effect up north.  We spent time in the Western Mountains and Central Maine over the Memorial Day weekend.  I'll put a Southern Maine report out this weekend as we'll be guiding down here this weekend.  I have to imagine that dry fly fishing will be in full swing down here.  Elk hair caddis and appropriate mayfly dries will be the tickets for trout.  Hopefully the smallies are looking up and ready to pounce on topwater offerings!  Flows are stabilizing in some areas and great in others.  Please wear a life jacket on the quicker rivers, especially if in a canoe.  Too many tragedies already this spring.  I'll let the pictures from this past weekend do the talking! - Aaron
