A Lifestyle Recipe for Maine Rainbow Trout

The Kennebec River’s rainbow trout are something of an anomaly in Maine, but they tug at the soul of a few dedicated anglers, including Jim Messer, who seems to have found a recipe for perfect fishing: live with your parents, fish in your socks, and utilize a customized 20-foot Jon-boat imported from Arkansas. “He spends 50 hours or more on the river each week, fishing hard every day until thunderstorms, high water flows or darkness drive him home to bed, bleary-eyed, sore-shouldered and exhausted.” Dave Sherwood on MaineToday.com.
