Ping: Riverman

Sorry, guy, but Lakewood is closed from the 11th thru the 18th. I
will be up there July 5 - 9. Grandson #1 is getting married (in
Bagor) on July 11, so I may stay in Maine that week, probably fish the
Alagash and some of the ponds. Will stay at Libby's.

The river was fishing VERY well last week, with morning, noon and
evening hatches. We took several big (3 to 5 lb) brookies at the
currents, and lots of big salmon, all on dries or very small soft
hackle nymphs. They had been running 400 cfs for over a week -
unheard of these days, and the lake is still full. So, fishing should
be good until mid July, and definitely late August. You should drive
in to the gate or use the Upton road and give it a try.

Dave it's spelt Bangor not Bagor.........Have a good time fish the
Kenduskeag Stream or the Salmon Pool just above the old Bangor Brewer
bridge on the Penobscot river......I keep looking at my Maine
Gazetteer and Richardson Lake one of these days I am going to get
there............

Too bad it's closed...I might drive in the south side and hike through
the woods again, or if someone can tell me the way in to the gate, I
might do that. My primary goal for that week back home is to cast some
lines.

The Bangor Salmon Pool doesn't hold much appeal for me, since I grew
up only a few miles from there and that part of the state gives me the
haunts. Likewise the Kenduskeag, but I might make a run up to the West
Branch and cast some lines between Big Eddy and Big A.

Since you'll be in TGSOM that week, keep me posted here and maybe we
can still get together. I´m less picky about who I fish with with than
where I fish :-)

July 1-8 is too early....I fly from Sweden to the US on July 13, so
I'll be available to fish from July 14-21. Any chance of being on the
Rapid after they reopen Lakewood on the 18th?

Sure, but let me see how the fishing is next week. If the water is
too warm, fishing will be down. I'll e-mail you from camp and let you
know.
