Libby Camps's Tip of the Week

Target quick water and current when searching for actively feeding trout and salmon. Look for deeper sections that may contain Springs, as fish will be absent any areas that don't have shade and cooler water.

5-Day Outlook as of 8/4/22

Water levels are still decent for the time of year, but most stream temps are warmer than trout prefer. Dam fed rivers such as the Penobscot or Caucmagomac offer cooler water options where trout can be found.

Techniques & Tips as of 8/4/22

Swing small streamers through fast riffles and runs, or nymphs shelfs and deeper runs.
