Any Deer Permits - 2013 Season

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries has determined that 80 "Any Deer Permits" will be awarded for Wildlife Management District #7 for the 2013 Deer Season.  20 of these permits will be available to landowners only but the other 60 will be determined by lottery.  For more information you can visit the IF&W's website at http://www.maine.gov/ifw/licenses_permits/lotteries/anydeer/index.htm#permitallocations
Online applications for the drawing must be completed by August 15th so do not delay!

We still have some available lodging for the 2013 Deer Season so if you are considering a hunt this year, please give us call soon.

Yes this picture is accurate. Yes, it's still raining and yes, the extended forecast is about the same.  I've heard rumors the extended forecast may have a day or two of sunshine so we'll see.  No matter, the fishing action on the lake has been great and although some areas in the upper river have seen some high water,  conditions change quickly and the fish are biting.

Now that the kids are getting out of school it's time to plan that summer get away.  We do have some limited availability for our Summer Rate Special beginning on July 1st and running through the 18th of August. Check your calendar and give me a call.

Memorial Day

Thank you to all our veterans.  We must remember that freedom does not come without a cost and for some, the ultimate price has been paid - THANK YOU.

We welcomed our third grandchild, Michael Brennan Chase on Wednesday, May 15th @ 12:18PM.  He weighed in at 7 lbs, 15 oz, and 21 inches tall.  Everyone is happy and healthy and we can't wait to meet him.

Fishing here at camp has been great both on the lake and in the streams.  I had one report from the lake yesterday that they caught 7 fish in 30 minutes.  The wind has been strong and cold so the fishermen are bundled up, but all having a great time.

Mike will be cooking a couple fresh caught fish this morning for guests who just couldn't resist breakfast from the lake.  Nothing like salmon and eggs to start the day.



We opened our 2013 Spring fishing season on Friday and the fishermen are arriving daily.  Much to our relief, we even received some much needed rain overnight and a little more today.  Hope it didn't spoil any Mother's Day plans.  Mike will be cooking a couple of fresh fish in the morning that we caught this afternoon.

We also welcomed two new employees, Julie & Kevin to the Bosebuck team.

We're back and our Internet service is back too, but the ice is still here.  Mike & I enjoyed 10 sunny days in Florida and try as I might to bring that warm weather back with me to Maine, it just didn't happen.  Cold nighttime temperatures and even colder, snowy days have hung on.  As you can see in today's webcam photo, the rivers have started to open and the ice is beginning to break up, but most likely it will be another week before the ice is gone here at the north end of the lake.

We are looking forward to welcoming back our returning spring fishermen and greeting new guests beginning on May 9th.  We still have some availability in Mid-May and a few days at the end of the month too.  Call or email if you can sneak away for a few days to wet a line.

The calendar may indicate that spring has arrived, but I can tell you it hasn't come this far northwest just yet.  The overnight low was only 14 degrees and the wind has been howling bringing with it light snow showers for the past week.

Mike and I would like to extend or thanks to all our winter guests and hope to see you all next year.  Thanks also to our hard working staff who help to make this operation a success.  Both Chad and Dana have decided to tackle new opportunities elsewhere so they will not be returning to Bosebuck when we re-open for spring fishing on May 9th.  We wish them well in their new endeavors.

As usual our spring project list is quite long but with the help of John C. & Jerry, we have already crossed off a few items.  If the weather doesn't cooperate soon, the outside chores will just have to wait.  Plenty to do inside, so we won't be bored.

Our spring fishing season is already heavily booked, so if you are still thinking about fly fishing the upper Magalloway watershed you should be picking up the phone right now.  The same goes for our Fall dates too.
