Nope 5 min in my flybox slid into the water and got pushed under the frozen river. I went in after it as it was just sitting under the lip. When I jumped in I had dislodged a thick piece of ice from the shore and that floated down and took the box with it. Sucks as it was a full box. Went back yesterday and the river is up a foot with ice dams all over the place so who knows where it will end up. I will keep walking till I hopefully find it. |

Thanks Bill. No excuse needed but lost some nice wet flies/streamers. Could always use some small dries which I can't yet tie, Royal Wulff, Adams. Hopefully we can meet up this spring.

those wulffs are PITA. that double wing post is a a pain, adams are bad, it's just a double palmer.
Stay with the easy ones, the wets and streamers catch more fish than dries IMO

I wanted to get a start on some Shed Hunting and see where the deer where bedding down and what they were eating. The family wanted to come out into the woods for a nice hike in the snow. My youngest fell asleep almost as soon as he got in the back pack.

Nice pics. Heading to Fort Kent with Starfish for 4 days saddlebagging Aroostook County next week. Probably hit up Rangeley and the Jackman one more time. Haven't had the time to ride this year.

Millinocket area heading fri. after work and staying till tues.
We day tripped to Woodford today...just got back.....HOLY SNOW! they got like 4 feet since friday. Will have to get some pics of that up for ya! I still cant beleive the snow. We were on a narrow secondary headed up a mountain and had to turn the sleds around. The guy we met coming the other way (he just turned around because the trail wasnt broke) was helping turn our sleds around.....next thing I knew I looked over and he was gone! well actually he just sunk up to his neck in snow! Wish I had the camera ready because no one will beleive me when I tell that story! It was pretty funny seeing just his helmet poking out of the snow!
The time is NOW my friend.....it usually doesnt get any better that this! March can be a crapshoot and April riding is icing on the cake if you can get it!

Nice will post pics of our trip tomorrow. Starfish rode her rev for the first time. We did 750 miles in 3 full days of riding. She also broke her speed record.

Yes pics please! How are they holding up there? NEK got took a big hit this past weekend with the warm temps. Still plenty of base but they dont groom unless its cold and things were getting bony in and out of town.
750 Miles in 3 days? Thats pretty hardcore!  at that rate shes gonna need a new one soon! HA!HA! I have over 3k on my sled (since end of feb 08) I am thinking its time to trade her in towards the leftover renegade (I am GONNA make it up that mountain dammit!) I saw at the dealer for dirt cheap this weekend....  ok so I am dreaming....but it was DIRT CHEAP for a renegade  which hurts to walk away from and they had three of them not to mention that dealer treats you right to boot.
Allright Starfish give it up! how fast?  |

I think this is why they call it God's Country? Looked like you could ride right up to the sky.

Wife's longest ride to date. Our trail to the house overlooking Ft. Kent. We had to have a beer at the top after a long ride. A trail shot near Portage Lake.

Wife overlooking the St. John River Valley and New Brunswick in Frenchville. Lots of old equipment on the fields all over the county up there. Starfish in front of the Ft. Kent Trail System Sign.

Wife's fastest rip to date. I couldn't keep up with her and my friend. Took a ride up to Estcourt Station. The highest point to go in Maine. Border crossing to Quebec. Wife overlooking the fields of Ft. Kent.

A couple trail shots. I didn't get many pics of the trails since I was too busy riding them to stop. We got rained on for the last 30 miles on our way home Sunday. Still lots of snow but it was getting soft.
