 June 7, '05 Kennebec Head Waters

 Back to Maine Home Page
 

The head waters of the Kennebec River is Moosehead Lake and the outlets, East and West. Good fishing friend, Jeremy calls and he and Florida Buddy, Dave meet up with me at the East Outlet. Heavy spring rains have made the rivers all over Maine high for a month! However, like anything, this too passes and now the fish are hungry, the water is at 2336 c.f.s. and wadable. Black flies and mosquitoes are about and biting, but not enough to have to apply bug repellant. The air is warm and the water temp is a cool 48-degrees!The flies had to be weighted and small yellow and brown streamer flies were very successful. I landed 5 Salmon and eight Brook Trout and had a great day fishing.
