Fishing Report 3/27/2022

Well, just when we thought spring had sprung, BAM snow is falling… Now those of us who are from New England know that winter can show its ugly head anytime in the spring. Luckily, the extended forecast looks as though we will have temperatures back up in the 50s in a few days.

We did get out on the water for a few trips the past week. The fishing was a bit slow but we did get a few fish and saw quite a bunch more. Mainly fished streamers in natural colors, low and slow! The water levels were still fairly high last week but now are dropping back to normal levels. Most of the snow pack is gone as far as runoff is concerned so now it will just be large rain storms we will have to watch out for.

The spring weekend dates are filling up and we have quite a few openings during the week, so get a hold of us if you’d like dust off the cobwebs and chase some trout or pike!
