Sunny Days, Great Fishing
Looks like summer is here, at long last. Temps have risen, and the fishing has followed suit. Back Lake has continued to produce well, as has the Trophy Stretch.
Here’s the synopsis:
Andro Report 6/14
OMR hit the Androscoggin today after the Connecticut turned out to be high and muddy, with some great results. Nymphing most of the way, his people landed quite a few nice fish, with the jewel in the crown being a 20″, 4 lb. brown landed by Bruce Pilch (one of our River Helpers from the C.F.R. retreat!). A beadhead flashback pheasant tail lured this big boy to bite, but there’s plenty more out there for sure.

As Garrett Morris of SNL would say…
Starting Wednesday, our weather forecast is looking great for salmon fishing. Cloudy, and maybe a little rain. Perfect!
