Today’s biggest catch was a nice landlocked salmon, along with more than a dozen brookies. The salmon jumped a few times and put up quite a fight though.

Heat wave of 50+ degrees here in Maine, along with torrential rain and 40-50 mph winds, but that didn’t stop me from throwing a few flies today. Managed to net one salmon and one brookie. 😝
