Date: April 16, 2022 Body of Water: Megunticook Lake - Camden, Maine Moon Phase: Full Moon Boat: amybaby22 With: A Target: Trout Time: 9 AM - 12 PM Conditions: Generally overcast with showers starting at the end; about 45 - 55 degrees F; southerly wind > 10 mph; water temperatures 44 - 45 A joined me for an adventure as we went further up the coast in search of some fish. We chose to visit Megunticook Lake based on its reputation as a quality two-story lake. It was new to both of us. While we searched for trout, we'd be thinking about future bass opportunities. I set a couple of lines immediately after passing the rock guarding the entrance to the small bay with the public access. A would animate a tandem fly while I would rely upon a trusted S7 Rapala. I tried to keep the boat in about 10 feet of water as we sway trolled a new shoreline. A quickly had her fly line tugged from new hand; a promising start! I added a gold/black F7 Rapala to our spread. And nothing happened! I was surprised, I had expected to find some active trout. In one small woody bay, I declared that it looked like brookie habitat, and A's fly got hit again. Another swing and miss; oh well. We enjoyed the quiet lake, sharing it with only two pairs of loons. When the increasing wind brought a brief but cold shower, we pulled the boat, had a quick picnic in the truck while overlooking Penobscot Bay, and headed home. What do I have to stay about this? I hate getting skunked, but at least we saw some new water. It's a pretty lake with a decent ramp, and I know it produces quality smallmouth bass. I don't know for sure about the trout population, but I am sure we'll be back. Pondering the questions of core essence and finding meaning in unexpected ways
