About this episode

This episode discusses preparations for spring fishing in Maine, including gear maintenance and relevant fishing laws.

As spring arrives in northern Maine the mind shifts towards open water fishing. In this episode, we talk through how we prepare (or should prepare😉) for spring fishing in Maine. Maintenance on rods, reels, line, tackle cleanup, organization, cold-weather considerations, and some of the assumptions people make this time of year when the first signs of spring start showing up. We also touch on LD 1343 which is a statute enacted saying that, pursuant to the constitutional right to food, Mainer's have the right to harvest fish and wildlife by hunting, fishing or trapping. While not an explicit constitutional amendment, it IS a step in the right direction.It's an exciting time of year, especially after a long Maine winter!
