447.0. "Rangely Lakes, Maine" by BARNUM::CYGAN () Thu Aug 13 1987 09:46

    I'm planning on a four day trip to the Rangely Lakes area of Maine,
    the last week-end of August.  Anybody have any suggestions on what
    kind of fishing I'm likely to encounter at this time of year?
    
    Also, anyone have any information on where I can camp, or find
    economical cottage space?  Sorry if this topic's been discussed
    before in notes,...if so please direct me to the proper Note#'s.
    
                                    thanks

    	I was up that area this spring, sorry I can't help on
    	the fish in that area this time of year. I can however
    	comment on a campground I stayed at while there. I stayed
    	in Catherdial Pines campground in Stratton, right off of
    	flagstff lake. It cost $10/night with water and electric.
    	They have free showers, a store just down the road about
    	50 yards from the campground entrance, a beach on flagstaff
    	lake where they will rent boats or you can put yours in
    	there. I fished Flagstaff without too much luck, however,
    	I did real well fishing for trout in the smaller streams
    	in the area. That plus seeing moose each evening was well
    	worth the trip. I plan on going back next year.
    
    	Good luck,

447.2Bosebuck Mountain Camps !!!SKIVT::WOODFri Aug 14 1987 16:3524
    George,
    Every year I go to the Rangely area to fish lake Azischos.
    It's about 15 minutes or so west of Rangely on route 16.
    The fishing is strictly brook trout (up to 3lbs) and salmon.
    If the budget is good I stay at Bosebuck mountain camps.
    They sit on the edge of the lake. You get a very rustic cabin
    with private bath and shower, woodstove etc. They have a main
    lodge where meals are served. If you are going to be out all
    day they will make you a picnic lunch. When you get in the
    dock hands will clean your fish and store them in the camp freezer
    if you wish. They will also bring them to the chef if you desire
    to be cooked in the manor of your choice and served with your meal.
    The total cost for this last year was 50$ a day per person.
    The camp is at the north end of the lake up a dirt road. The
    lake is 15 miles or so long so it's a good trip up into bosebuck.
    Boats and Motors can be rented there (17$ a day) if your going 
    to fish the lake. You can bring your own if you desire or fish
    the dozens of streams in the area.
    
    If the budget is not so good, there are some wilderness camp sites
    around the lake. 
    				Good luck,
    					Marty
    
447.3Rangely Lakes RecommendationLESCOM::DUNLAPLES Systems Engineering; DTN 223-5190Wed Feb 07 1990 10:5111
I've been placed in charge of planning a Spring fishing trip to Maine's
Rangely Lakes region and would appreciate a recommendation of a 
fishing camp that provides cabins/ lodge, guides, and possibly gear.
We seek both trout and salmon and are both fly and bait and spincasters.

Thanks,

Jim
