Ice is out on Moosehead and lake trout are hungry! Long time Moose River fisherman Don Gadbois got lucky with this beauty of a lake trout...8 1/2 pounds and full of smelts. This is just one of many of the fish that were brought aboard during his week long stay with buddy John Kimball.

Smelts are running in Misery Stream and at Indian. Trees are budded, no leaves yet. The crocuses and daffodils have just appeared. Pussy Willows are in bloom.

ICE & FISH REPORT

Moose river levels remain very high. The East Outlet is now releasing water into the Kennebec River. Moosehead still has to come up 2 feet to reach normal high water.

WILDLIFE REPORT

Love is in the air as waterfowl pair up for spring courting. Black Ducks,mallards, merganzers, hooded merganzers, loons and golden eyes are common. The Canada Geese are back too. The call of the gulls remind us that summer is not far off.

A short drive around Rockwood now, feels like an episode of Wild Kingdom. Moose are coming out of the deep woods after a long winter. We saw 12 on a recent drive to Demo and back. They come to lick the salt from the road and munch on the green grass found alongside. Also saw a 1/2 white snowshoe hare, a fox and countless deer. Whitetail deer are still hearded up near town. 30 can be easily spotted on a short walk along Maynard Rd. Mama's bellies are noticeably round. Fawns will be born soon.
