Day of Fishing

We fished and gave a good effort. Isaac ended up getting a small chub with a worm we dug up out of a pile of dirt by hand (personal note: next time bring shovel for worms or buy worms a head of time). Aside from that trying surface lures, little cleos, flyfishing with streamers and emergent blue-wing olives, but nothing could interest the bass or any other lurking fish waiting in the shadows. The Mattawamkeag River is truly a sight. There are large cliffs that run along the edges of it near the campground. Then there is a good size falls farther down the road. With plenty of places to stop and fish with walk-in trails, it is quite the place to visit. I'll be going back in July if I can help it. Here are some much anticipated pictures of the trip which gives you a few backgrounds and also a small sampling of what wildlife can be found there.

A deer right was found munching on some leaves on the way out of the campground. It didn't seem to mind us at all. We stayed in the car so we wouldn't startle it much.

I believe this is called little Gordon brook. Isaac caught the chub here. It looked like a possible trout hiding spot.











A snapper that we almost tripped over when coming down to fish at the river at the campground. It looked like it was laying eggs because the ground was dug all up around it.









At the end of the day Isaac finally couldn't keep himself awake. After a 4:30-4:45ish wake-up call, this is the end result after a day of fishing.











I took the camera and made a short video of our campsite...unfortunately I'm having a little trouble with it for now. Blogger has been 'processing' for about 2 days...rigggggggggght. I will post later, perhaps through youtube then posting a link here.
