I’m a devoted four-season freshwater fisherman who chases trout, salmon and bass year-round on Maine’s numerous ponds, lakes, streams, and rivers. I love ice fishing, open-water fishing, trolling, and fly fishing. I fish from shore, in waders, from my canoe or a powered boat.
Read on if you want to learn more about out-of-the way fishing spots or seek to increase your odds of catching more salmonids or bass.
My motto is “If I fish it, I blog about it!”
