5.0. "MOOSEHEAD LAKE (MAINE)" by ELMO::MGAGNON () Thu Mar 14 1985 17:05

JUST A FEW WORDS ABOUT FISHING MOOSEHEAD LAKE IN MAINE. MYSELF AND THREE
OTHERS WENT TO MOOSEHEAD LAKE MARCH 8,9,10,11. THERE WAS STILL PLENTY OF ICE
AND PLENTY OF NICE LAKERS OR TOGUE AS THE NATIVES CALL THEM. THE LAKE IS 
BIGGER THAN WINNIE AND MUCH LESS COMMERCIALIZED. THE LOG CABIN ACCOMIDATIONS
WERE VERY REASONABLE. WE TOOK BACK 9 OR TEN REAL NICE FISH, LAKERS, SALMON,
AND CUSK. THE LAKERS WERE ALL OVER 18 INCHES. BESIDES THE ONES WE KEPT WE
THREW SEVERAL BACK THAT WERE JUST UNDER 18 INCHES. IF YOU LIKE FISHING FOR 
LAKERS AND SALMON AND DON'T WANT TO SPEND 40 OR 50 HOURS PER POUND TO DO IT 
THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO.

5.2	you wanna bet	KATADN::TURCOTTE_PAU		`Tue Jan 27 1987 12:40`	11
	I'm glad you feel that way. That means that you probably will stay home and fish around where you are. What this also means is that the people who do come up here will have more fish. Isn't that nice of you. Note .0 was no lie, although there has been some bad days just like any other lake has, overall the fishing is good at Moosehead Lake Maine. have a hoppy day froggy

5.5	can't wait to get there....	TARKIN::GOODY	The answer is ...... 42.	`Thu Mar 03 1988 08:41`	18
	A friend and I are planning a trip to the Moosehead area in May this year. We have info on two places in Jackman. They are both housekeeping cottage types and both are $250.00 for a week. One is Sally Mountain Cabins and the other I found out is right across the road , Tuckaway Shores Cabins. I was told that this is about 45 mins. from Moosehead lake and that there were quite a few ponds right in the Jackman area that have the same kinds of fish found at Moosehead. (Togue, trout, perch, cusk) Can anybody from the area (or been there) that can fill me in on how these cabins are and the fishing in the area? I have to call soon to make reservations. Thanks in advance, Looking forward to a week of Nirvana.... Mike
5.6	Spencer Lake in Jackman	AKOV12::LESHIN		`Mon Mar 07 1988 12:24`	8
	I go to the Jackman area every year and fish Spencer Lake. The lake has a hole that goes down to 160 feet. It is about seven miles long. I have taken Lakers, Salmon, and brookies from the lake. The only cabins on the lake are Hardscrabble Lodge. They get $20 per person per day. (207-243-2946 7-10a.m. 4-7p.m.) Best time to fish is right after ice-out otherwise the fish go down when it gets cold. Lloyd
5.7	Looking for a cabin	CIMNET::GAFFNEY	NASCAR **** 600 HORSEPOWER	`Tue May 31 1988 13:35`	6
	I too would like information on any cabins or cottages located on Moosehead. Would like something directly on the water, preferably with a boat launch. Thanks in advance. Brian Gaffney CIMNET::GAFFNEY

Tomhegan Camps...west side...near Socatean/Tomhegan streams. All pretty nice places...call Greenville Chamber of Commerce for phone numbers.
