The wooden boat I was in was hand made by our guide. Really nice.

John, where in Maine are you staying. I used to hunt in the Maryanne's area north on Lincoln off the old Rte.2

Excellent river to fish John!
It’s a great smallmouth river and has an ample population of trophy brown trout… look for the rises and drop your fly 6-8 feet upstream of the ring of the rise.
Up to the first dam you will find cow stripers in the right season, including right now.
It’s a great river that is clean and supports a wide variety of forage fish, insects and very respectable game fish… but I’ll bet your guide has already told you all this.
Those McKenzie River drift boats are the very best for drift-fishing fly rodders.

Good luck to you and your daughter John.

Dorothy and I fished the Androscoggin River in Brunswick Friday and scored some nice smallmouths but we were targeting the stripers… who unfortunately had lockjaw that day.

This morning Dorothy’s son had striper success on the Saco…
