Right in front of the cabins? Or downstream, where it shallows and you
can get out farther? I was casting from the walkway between the
spillways, but the swirly current made it hard to get a fly to sink.
Maine has a 'no added splitshot" policy, so I decided to tie up some
flies with heavy hooks and heavy beadheads for next time. That will be
this summer, I hope.


Zimbo is referring to the first Maine Clave. I placed him on the
first long spillway with *the* fly of the day, and he spent the entire
day there catching fish.

You *can* add non-toxic split shot to your leader.
