Caddis Thirty.

"There are two seasons in Scotland: June and winter"
Billy Connolly.
The same can be said for Maine this week. The fishing was good to excellent. Small streams got a much needed water boost as did the larger rivers. Caddis are the dominate hatch right now. Mayflies get all the press but caddis get the fish. Mornings, afternoons and evenings all saw some type of caddis stage working. Skating the dry was a fun technique to use on the bright days. Don't be afraid to try something new. Spinner falls in the evenings have been fairly strong also.

We canceled/rescheduled two trips this week due to weather forecast warnings of lightning. Rain we have no issue with. If it's raining we are on. Throw in lightning and it's game over. I've had enough close calls on rivers and in the mountains to build a healthy respect for that event. Most clients are understanding of the matter. Those that are not are tomorrow's headline. Play safe and think ahead.
