Jezuz, I hope that ain't right. :unsure: I go every year the week before Memorial day and it's usually in the mid to high 40's.

A guy from my town was on Rangeley all last week, highest temp. he saw was 39 and fishing deader than doornail.  As an aside - smelts in the Rangeley region running $25 a dozen! :o  ENJOY! ;D

Great. On all accounts. Better buy another bottle of Makers Mark on my way up.

 No temps on any of the lakes over 42° in area.  Rich has been deadly slow and Rangeley for the most part. Some people consider 8-10 fish great action....me not so much..and def glad i get my own smelts...cause inflation prices are crazy this year. I'll  be up for 4 days next week. I sure hope Rich picks up. Goodluck....and if ur really bored Azicahous is still slow but u can get 40 or so a day.....they almost equal 1 fish from Rich. Lol

Surface water temps ranged from 44F to 46F when we showed up last Wed. We saw 48F in the narrows when we left yesterday. I was worried my fish finder was reading high but it was confirmed against 3 other units and the IFW man when he came to visit. Still not a very fishy trip so it's definitely early. A few 6lb lakers were caught and a good amount of short salmon. Only two keeper salmon for 5 days of trolling- brutally slow but still a fun trip. I love that lake, it's so undeveloped.
