Just stopping by for a moment!
 

Hi all just stopping in to hi for a moment, been working a lot of hours and fishing when I can.. It's been a slow season so far , but should be picking up shortly here. I was able to see a nice piebald deer the other day about a mile from the house. I also carried my canoe about a mile and a half through the deep Maine woods a few days ago. I wasn't able to catch any brookiesyet but it shouldn't be long.:)
Here is a few pics I took heading in.

The truck and my canoe..

What it's like as I get closer to the brook, and this brook holds some of the areas largest brookies..

Thanks Chuck!!, I thought of you when I was up in the dead water as there was this rock that looked like the head of a big gator sticking out of the water nose and all, here is the brook at last.:)

Another pic of the brook as it splits up and runs into different directions.

Into the dead waters at last!!! This deadwater runs for miles and the only real access to this area of the brook is the wayI went into it! Solitude like none other..

This little bird sat on this rock when I paddled up by and was still on it when I came back down so I took a pic of it.

Last pic here of a duck that decided to take to the land rather than the air as most wildlife in this area are not used to seeing people.. Sorry for so many pics on different pages my friends, I still do not know how to hook them all together like so many others do. I was able to catch 2 smallmouths down below the deadwater that was roughly 2 pounders. They didn't give much of a fight as the water is still quite cold here. On the way out I was able to see 3 bear cubs in a pine tree as well. I tried to get a pic of them to share but they didn't come out very good as there was not enough light for the pic. I hope all has been doing well out there and enjoying the great outdoors..;)
