For those who have been following me for a while you will know that by my camp there was a major storm in December 2023 . I finally got the time to go in there and investigate the damage to the brook itself. I am curios on how it will effect the brook trout population.

Could u suggest a good nymph for fall fishing, maybe a dry dropper? High vis caddies with a pheasant tail below it? Thanks again

    So dude...first n 2nd cast you catch yellow perch. Non native species that got thier start in Haley pond in Rangeley. Never catch and release perch or god forbid bass in the Rangeley lakes watershed. Kill them and feed to the Eagles. You releasing them is akin to illegal stocking of an evasive species. The watershed your fishing is brook trout and salmon habitat. Thks and hv a good day. Rb

    I was taught that you put you thumb in their mouth and bend the head back and it snaps their neck right away. Sometimes the eagles will see you and come take them out of the water and eat them. I was on the rapid last August, the streams were so full of water the fishing everywhere else was pretty tough.

    Nice videos, just found your channel. I have fished all of these western Maine spots. I think you balance showing some great spots without showing where they are. Question, where are the "red markers" that close off near where you are fishing in July? I would expect the water is too warm by then anyway.. Also I think your "English Tudor" camp is pretty sweet! 😁

    • @eastcoastflyfisherma
      @eastcoastflyfisherma 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@neilfitch I don’t know of any warm water closed sections. There are red markers near dams that restrict where you can fish due to the fish stacking there. I almost never fish for trout in July and August due to water temperatures. There are a few small streams that I fish that stay cold all year though. I generally fish for smallmouth in the summer. I have had a few complaints about showing the exact spots I fish. It’s a hard balance to make a video that’s interesting to watch without showing where I am or describing where I am. I’m mostly fishing places that people know of or have fished themselves. I have been keeping to the rule that John Girrach uses, if you can cast across it don’t name it.

    I lived in Sebastian for about 40 years and fished all over the river. If you ever get there again a good place to wade fish is go south of the inlet bridge until you come to the end of the mangrove trees on the east side of the road and you have a long clear stretch of the river on the east side. Park where the mangroves start and wade north towards the inlet. That whole area towards the inlet and way out into the river is only waist deep or less. Be sure and shuffle your feet for stingrays. I'm heading up to the Moose lake area in May. Plan on staying until fall fishing the area. Another good area to wade fish for snook,reddish and trout is just south of the Sebastian River Bridge on the east side there is a pullout on the east side. Park there and go down the hill to the river(the hill is actually a huge mound of oyster shells the Indians piled up there hundreds of years ago.) When you get to the river walk south along the shore until you get near the docks.i usually waded about half the docks length from shore and cast into wards the shore and towards the ends and all along the docks. The snook like to lay up under the docks. I enjoy your videos on the Maine fishing.
