Subject: Androscoggin River, Maine
Submitted by BATS #14791
Date Fished: 8/31/2008
Water Temperature: 74
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet Headed up to the Turner area of the Androscoggin and headed north. Beautiful overcast day and on my first stop after the bridge there is a rock pile and some type of concrete block sticking up about 4 feet out of the water.....an obvious first stop, first cast, first fish....about 2 1/4 lbs. that felt like 5. This was the first of about 50 fish for the day with all of them but a couple coming off rock piles. The fish were not relating to wood at all and about 90% of the fish came on tubes (color made no difference). At one point in an area just north of the last 2 islands (new to this area and not sure of their names, but this area shows ripples the width of the river from just under the surface rock formations.....BEWARE!!!) I was catching smallies on almost every cast. I would just wait for a small ripple on the water, throw the tube to the spot and they would immediately hit it. Just started fishing this area of the river and it is just full of fish. 2 lb average with a few 3's thrown into the mix. We were once again the only boat on the water with perfect weather conditions. The water level looks to be down about 3-4 feet and I can imagine these banks being covered with smallies when the water is covering the abundant laydowns and overhaging brush that line the river. New lake tomorrow.....any suggestions?
