Nice videos, just found your channel. I have fished all of these western Maine spots. I think you balance showing some great spots without showing where they are. Question, where are the "red markers" that close off near where you are fishing in July? I would expect the water is too warm by then anyway.. Also I think your "English Tudor" camp is pretty sweet! 😁
@@neilfitch I don’t know of any warm water closed sections. There are red markers near dams that restrict where you can fish due to the fish stacking there. I almost never fish for trout in July and August due to water temperatures. There are a few small streams that I fish that stay cold all year though. I generally fish for smallmouth in the summer. I have had a few complaints about showing the exact spots I fish. It’s a hard balance to make a video that’s interesting to watch without showing where I am or describing where I am. I’m mostly fishing places that people know of or have fished themselves. I have been keeping to the rule that John Girrach uses, if you can cast across it don’t name it.
@@eastcoastflyfisherma I was talking about the P in the R being closed in the summer. There are red markers (somewhere) that show where the no fishing zone starts. I fished this spot this spring, and also slogged down the other path/stream to the "lower" area. I'm going to a Western Maine Bottom release tail-water eeearly Friday. Could still be a few fish before it warms up...
Smallmouth were not native to Maine. They wound up in the rapid river system in the 90’s I believe. There was a crash in the brook trout population then. They have bounced back, but the fisheries department wants the removed from the system
If you folks keep showing all the fishing spots in Maine on the internet the brook trout and salmon will take a big hit after making a big comeback in the last ten years.
Shhhh. But most that fish there know where it is too. You should definitely see the video I’m editing as we speak. I went up to Grand Lake Stream and SLAYED the salmon. It’s probably the best video I’ve done so far!
Would be nice if you'd stop posting, or at least stop so fully listing your location. You show an incredible lack of intelligence and respect by burning up spots that are so special.
I lived in Sebastian for about 40 years and fished all over the river. If you ever get there again a good place to wade fish is go south of the inlet bridge until you come to the end of the mangrove trees on the east side of the road and you have a long clear stretch of the river on the east side. Park where the mangroves start and wade north towards the inlet. That whole area towards the inlet and way out into the river is only waist deep or less. Be sure and shuffle your feet for stingrays. I'm heading up to the Moose lake area in May. Plan on staying until fall fishing the area. Another good area to wade fish for snook,reddish and trout is just south of the Sebastian River Bridge on the east side there is a pullout on the east side. Park there and go down the hill to the river(the hill is actually a huge mound of oyster shells the Indians piled up there hundreds of years ago.) When you get to the river walk south along the shore until you get near the docks.i usually waded about half the docks length from shore and cast into wards the shore and towards the ends and all along the docks. The snook like to lay up under the docks. I enjoy your videos on the Maine fishing.
There are a few camps in my area and we have a road association. We are going to be having a meeting to discuss what is going to happen. Most likely we are going to have the work done in the spring. A little work was already done to divert water to minimize continued erosion. It’s probably going to be a rough start next season
@@eastcoastflyfisherma I’ll have to get up there one day, I did fish the androscoggin in Errol this summer, lots of fun catching small brookies . Thanks !
Awesome video man! Looks like a fun day of fly fishing!! I just uploaded a video myself and really like watching your videos!! Keep the great content coming!! Great job! 💪🤝🤝
Love your videos. I have learned a lot from you. I find the Cigar pretty distracting. Wondering if you would be as comfortable and have as much fun without it while you are filming. Thanks. Doug. 0:47
These kinds of places are special. It is where I learned to fish with a fly, although I wouldn’t call it fly fishing. I’d take a switch of poplar and use that with a Dave’s hopper
Fly fishing is detrimental to the survival of the undersized fish, it may make you feel special but it is just selfish. You are one of the reasons we have a ridiculously small slot size to legally bring home a meal for family. Save the fly fishing for fresh water.
You people need to stop posting videos of this place. I have fished here since the 80's when nobody had you tube and not many people went there, you should try keeping these memories to yourself, I guess I'm not a bragger or a showoff. Paul J. Maybe we will meet and I'll throw a few rocks in the pool.
