When deciding to open up my laptop to begin a new blog, my mind got to thinking…what have I been up to lately? Of course, I could mention the treacherous college applications or hours spent on homework, but as I pulled up my document to write, I instinctively queued up my music. And that’s when…

Littlejohn Preserve
2021 was the summer of the Littlejohn Preserve. A locally-known slice of paradise, the 23-acre preserve is the perfect place to explore the tide pools, go for a swim or run trail laps. This summer, I found myself making an almost daily commute from in-town Yarmouth to Littlejohn Island for a secluded beach day at…
Dirt
Okay. So, first post as Amelia Marjerison–Dirigo Adventures. Exciting stuff! I want to write about what feeds my soul. Although simple and most likely seen as a nuisance, dirt is awesome. But regardless, I think it makes up part of my essence because Dirt has been a part of my childhood. From a baby, to…
Amelia’s Takeover
This website was started by my brother, Sam Marjerison, to highlight the best outdoor adventures Maine has to offer. Of course, he then moved to Utah for college, leaving me to man this site and turn the content upside down! As Mainers, we don’t always realize how easy we have it. Life in the Pine…
A Day in the Wasatch: Attempting the Cottonwood Ridge Traverse
Sam Marjerison details an epic day-trip with Colin Poly traversing from Big Cottonwood Canyoon
“The Search for Stripers” with Caleb Kern
Every summer, as the days get longer and the weather gets nicer, striped bass make an annual pilgrimage to the coastal waters of New England to feed on baitfish such as pogies and herring. As these fish make their way up the coast, so do many anglers including Caleb Kern, an avid fly fisherman in…
A Day with Ramsay Charters
With the stripers following bait out of the rivers to the island ledges and beaches, I joined Charles Ramsay of Ramsay Charters as we chased flocks of birds in search of schools of stripers. In addition to a pretty good day of fishing, I was also able to put together another installment of my outdoor film…
“White Clousers and Schoolies”
Our normal fishing grounds in the Royal River have been inconsistent. This time of year is all about catching big numbers of fish and the Scarborough Marsh is the hot spot. We headed out for a perfect falling tide at Ferry Beach, but wind out of the East made us work for every fish….
“A Pretty Good Day”
Spring has sprung and trout season is in full swing. Liam Ireland and I took a trip to a not-so-secret spot on the Little Androscoggin for a day of fast trout and landlocked action. In addition to a pretty good day of fishing, I was also able to put together the second installment of my…
2018 Ice Fishing Recap
This was our winter– knee deep snow, school cancellations, and tons of fish. Although we fished hard and caught plenty of fish, most trips were taken without a camera in hand. With this in mind, here is film made from the few times that a camera was taken with us. Shot during trips to Range…
Outdoor Film Series
As Mainers, we don’t always realize how easy we have it. Life in the Pine Tree State is very good indeed. In 2015, I started Dirigo Media to highlight my film and photo work and as a platform to provide services to the local community. Yet, I found myself putting only a selective amount of photo…
