The Mighty Kennebec, 2005
Marshall, Ernie and Don

Ernie MacDonald and I experienced a wonderful day on the mighty Kennebec with guide/fishing friend Marshall Demott on Sunday, October 2, 2005.  Marshall was a wealth of knowledge during the 8 hour float.  He put us on some very nice browns and rainbows rising to flying ants and blue winged olives.  We were able to coax a few to the boat.  It was a day of dry fly fishing, 5x tippets, size 18 and 20's and reading glasses to tie on flies!  If you want a trip you won't forget contact Marshall or Mike Holt at Fly Fishing Only.
