One of Us
- Mr. “G-Funk” Eric Gardner made the Up’North fellas proud this weekend, taking home 3rd place (38 5/8 inches) and 13th place (36 3/8 inches) in the 7th annual Fort Kent International Muskie Derby. I was lucky enough to be present when both fish were caught and it was extremely exciting to see Eric’s hard [...]
View From the Front
- Another successful weekend is in the books, and the 7th Annual Fort Kent Muskie Derby has finally come to a close. Plenty of fish were seen this weekend, and one of the crew even managed to take home some serious cash with third place honors. Pictures of all the fish (including the winner) [...]
Be Patient…
- The weather has been ever so enjoyable lately, hence the absence of activity here at the Up’North compound. The next few days call for rain, so that should provide me with ample time to post what I want to post, tweak what I want to tweak, and add what I want to add. For [...]
It’s a Monstah!
- BIG Apologies goes out to Mr. Jesse Jalbert for not posting this sooner! At 23lbs and 43 inches, so far this is the largest Muskie I’ve seen taken from the Saint John River this year. Reports from various fishermen indicate that the month of June has been fairly slow on [...]
May Trip 2010: Camp Chaos
- After five days of nothing but a good time, May Trip 2010 is officially in the books. The weather was perfect, the food was spectacular, and the company could not have been better. While the fishing was lackluster, the crew still managed to pull a fair amount of Trout from the warm waters of [...]
Brook Trout Love
- Trolling Wednesday evening was not nearly as productive as I had hoped, but it certainly wasn’t a total loss. As the sun fell behind the hills and the last bit of light hung on for dear life, Mr. Morin managed to pull a pesky Brook Trout from the water before we called it a [...]
Fun with Clouds
Clouds and I go way back. While most people pray for clear skies, I get excited when I see a partly sunny sky full of clouds. This weekend I did something unheard of, something so shameful that the Roughfisher would probably slap me silly. I left my fly rod in the truck and took to [...]
She Doesn't Talk
- Graduation has it’s perks, seriously. Once again, my parents have outdone themselves and given me the perfect gift: A spankin’ new Old Town Canoe. Do I deserve it? I’m not so sure. Regardless, the canoe I have seen in my dreams for years now is finally sitting in my yard. My 20ft XL Tripper [...]
"Schooled"
- I may be the teacher in the classroom, but lately I’m the one getting schooled on the fishing front. One of my students showed me a picture of some trout he caught this past weekend and I just knew I had to post them. While everyone else (including myself) has used the excuse “the [...]
