Randy Springer of Windham fishes for northern pike Wednesday morning in his pedal kayak on the Androscoggin River in Turner, surrounded by near-peak foliage. “There is a kinda cult-like culture with people who fish from kayaks these days,” he said. “It’s a bit weird and I’m a little weird so that’s probably why I’m fishing for pike. That, and they put up a really good fight.” Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal
