Bouncy weather and some soft tides slowed it down for a couple of days, but it's back on!!! the last few Mornings thing are kicking back into gear at full speed, there are tons of good reports coast wide!!!! Also with a swell in the water for a few days I was able to get a few standup paddle surf sessions in, post guide trips and areas just east of Casco Bay had a ton of fish on the surface in bright sun not and angler insight.so I would think the Kennebec crew will be in for some real hot fishing the next few days aswell. Fly wise 5-7 inch hollow purple was the fly of the day the last few mornings for us, there is a ton of Blue Back Herring in Casco Bay and with the rain and wind they are still out of the rivers in big schools, there is plenty in the rivers but the water quality is taking it's time from the weekends rains, the steeper tides that are setting in should speed that up over the next few days and we should be in for a good weekend of fishing, Fish the low sun angles and the tides (slack high has been slow!!
Bait wise have it all Small Juvi, Spike Mac. Adult herring sand eels and lot of Green crabs floating around to play with on the flats during slack high a slow strip might find an eat. Size wise the there still good groups of small fish but I would say most fish to the boat are in the 24-29 range with a few lower 30 mixed in. The aces fishing the rocks and beaches South of Portland report a few near 40 on the fly the last few days good job guys!!!! we still have not broke the 37 inch fish we got during the heat wave on a crab pattern but we are having a ton of fun working on it....
