    When do you want to come to Maine? What type of camping are you
    looking to do ( tent , pop up etc.)? what do you have for a boat?
    Are you interested in fishing a tournament? What ever if you let
    me know what you want I can help you in the central Maine area.

        Al,  I'm planning on heading up to the Maine for a canoe camping 
        and fishing trip Aug 12-14.  I'm considering the Saco, but I'm 
        concerned about the low water levels.  Happen to know of any 
        rivers that happen to cater to canoe camping and fishing for 
        smallies, or other rivers for trout.    Don Mac

    YO DON,
        Woodall's tenting directory has hundreds, from saltwater islands
    to boocoo lake sites. The eastern region edition covers florida
    through new england to canada. Sites and areas are discribed well
    and phone #'s are listed. Most take over the phone reservations.
    For $3.95 you can't go wrong!

    Any info on fishing Highland Lake above Sebago.  I have a 14 ft
    Canoe with 3 HP electric trolling motor on it.   Can it be used
    or would I be better off renting a boat there.  We will be there
    mid august

    YO WORM,                     
    Thanks for the tip, but for this particular trip I'm looking to avoid 
    the established campgrounds.  This will be a semi-wilderness adventure
    'away from it all' for a few days.  Looking forward to leaving the
    boat and 95% of the tackle at home and just paddling/drifting the
    canoe, camping and fishing for a few days.                              
                                 
    However, that book you mentioned is a good one.  After returning
    from my camping/fishing trip down to Florida earlier this year, I came 
    upon that book (or a similar one) - I sure could have used that book
    on that trip.

YO Don,
         You should do a trip in Quetico Provential Park in Canada some
    time. It is just over International Falls Mn. I went out in the
    bush for two weeks in a canoe. Did not see another human the whole
    trip. A highlight I will NEVER forget. You get a map of the waterways
    and portage' points so you don't (you hope) get lost. I covered
    a good 200 miles.......
                              NIGHTCRAWLER~~~~~~~~~~
787.9Maine...not Minnesota....MENSCH::SCHOLZRon....and thanks for all the fishMon Jul 11 1988 17:1512
    This is really great.....TBDW enters a note on OUR plans to do some
    fishing in Maine and the next thing I know I'm going to Minnesota
    Canada to do the Quetico area....which is probably one of the greatest
    fishing areas you can find.....:^)
    
    Now, back to the subject....To answer Al's questions....Tent, MY
    RANGER (joe) and somewhere there are fish on a lake with a servicable
    ramp. My four wheeler should be up to the task. Okay Al, spill your
    knowledge.....we are looking for three days to a week to do our
    thing. Any suggestions???
    
    Tight lines all, Ranger Ron
