Thanks Buddha

This has been a fun thread, their all good. That one of Dennis and the rainbow is ridiculous, Jim's brown trout are gorgeous. The salmon pics from Sebago last season are fantastic !!

Can't wait for spring  8)



Holy Cow, these pics really got me thinking, spring trolling.
Went outside to put my rod holders on the boat. The boat is under 5 feet of snow. :'( :'(

if you look to the top of that pic, there's a pool at the very top....only about 15' around, 15' long......deep, with a small falls at the top and a long, narrow, fast water chute coming out....full of fish, but you couldn't land one in the pool....they'd break off or the hook would pull.....so i had to get them into the chute, and run down the bank 60-70 yards, guiding them around boulders & through rapids, into a bigger pool to land them.....it was way cool, wish we had video

I am pretty new here, but I fish a bit with lovestofish. The first picture is one from Snow Poind in 2004.



This is one of the browns I caught on the last day of fishing this year. Not big, but legal and great eating.



This one is from up north. I was fishing with Denis and we were targeting Salmon, but all I could catch was Bass.

     Here is a pic of my most colorful fish. This is an 18" native Allagash brook trout caught while ice fishing on Chamberlain Lake in February of 1982. My best friend Steve caught a twin to this fish 15 minutes later. We were fishing out of Nugent's camps within 25 yards of the cabin we were staying in. This is when Patty Nugent was still alive and well and runnning the camps. Some of you old timers remember the story of Patty and Al Nugent just newly married putting all of their earthly belongings on a raft and heading up Chamberlain Lake looking for the perfect spot to build a set of remote cabins to serve as a hunting and fishing lodge. This is back when the state of Maine was allowing squatters rights for those folks hardy enough to establish rough sporting camps in remote wilderness areas of Maine. The newlyweds began their journey in a raft up Chamberlain Lake in the early 1940's, they found a spot some 17 miles up the Eastern shore of the lake in a small cove, as what Patty Nugent described to me in her telling of the story as "just right." That was only the beginning of many years of hard, back-breaking labor building hand-hewn log cabins and surviving harsh, cold winters by hunting and trapping their food. I consider it an honor and a privilege to have met this amazing woman/pioneer (her husband having passed away some 10 years earlier). When I last saw Patty, she was well into her late 80's, truly a grand old pioneer lady full of grace and down to earth common sense, she treated all of her guests like members of her own family. I miss her.  Although this unfortunately is not a pic of the fish caught fresh through the ice, it is a picture of a wood carved and hand painted reproduction of the frozen fish presented to one Lawrence Irvine of Winthrop, Maine back in 1982 after returning from the ice fishing trip , I had to wait 6 months for the finished product, the cost was $35.00. This hand carved and hand painted fish is now valued at over $2500.00. Lawrence Irvine and Patty Nugent have long since gone on to heaven. Every time I glimpse that fish mount on the wall I admire it's beautiful colors as captured in Lawrence's mind's eye and I also remember the gleam in Patty's eye when I so proudly displayed my day's catch from Chamberlain Lake in the Allagash. God bless the colors of his handiwork, in fish, wildlife, but most of all in the people who touch our lives.

That I did dude.....the whole reason I went up there was to finally ice a salmon and it paid off in a big way.  Now I'm debating another salmon trip before it's all said and done.....only in a different direction    ;)

I am pretty sure it is Salibury, just because I can see the old coast guard station across the river and I see the boats I work on docked there.. :-X
