Finally! As the water warms up the fishing is heating up. The Ellis is starting to fish well although the Saco isn't quite there yet, but by next week it should be up and running as well. All the ponds in and around the valley are rocking! Fishing is almost in full swing. Hatches of midges in the ponds as well as your usual early season streamers and wets. The rivers and streams haven't shown any hatches as of this report, but we should be seeing some dry fly action in the next few weeks for sure. As usual, if you're in the vacinity, stop in and tell us how you're doing.
