Fishing near Island Falls

A buddy of mine, Kevin, who is in the millitary was home for the week from Germany, so My family spent a few days with his up at their family time share in Island Falls.
I arrived Wednesday Morning, and it was right off to find a trout stream. After a moderate drive, and very wet muddy bushwack we made it to the stream


Kevin quickly got in the prime spot and started throwing a silver Rapala.


His Bass Fishing brother lagged behind lugging all his tackle


I tried fishing from shore, then decided to bite the bullet and wet wade out into the muddy bottom


The brookies turned out to be cooperative






Most of the fish were in the 8-9 inch range, but near then end of the day my friend got two nice one by tying on a wooley bugger, with a bobber and letting it sit on bottom. I was able to get into the fish preaty good by wet wading, but I paid for it later. I had to pull 2 leeches off my feet, and somewhere along the way I lost a toenail!!!

Next day we decide to try the mattawankeag Lake for bass. We spent the day out there but never did find any. We did find a lot of pickeral, and I lost a lot of flies to them!! We also got into some huge white perch. We kept a few and brought them back to deep fry. They were excellent!!!!!
