Conference wahoo::fishing

    have you ever been to the outer banks of n.c.?  you can probably
    find a cabin for that price in kill devil hills or nags head
    if you stay on the sound side or between the highways. one of the
    realtors which handles cabins is "the young people" in kill devil
    hill, another is sun realty.
    the fishing on the outer banks is great. as for boats i usually go
    down to oregon inlet and go offshore for tuna and marlin.  there
    are boats which charter for inshore fishing as well.  the end of
    august should produce some decent surf fishing also.    
         

    	Well, how about Lake Dillon, Marble, Aspen, Steamboat Springs,
    (I could continue for a LONG time since that is OFF SEASON out here).
    Of course, you would need 2 free frequent flyer bonus tickets. :-)

    
     My favorite Spot.
    
     East Gate Motor Lodge  Littleton, N.H. @I93/rt302
    
     This quaint motor lodge is about $34 a night for 2 people.
    It's clean!! has A/C and HBO. It also has the best retuarant in
    town(It's dining room). A great lounge with week-end Entertainment
    and good prices.
    
     There is a Championship Golf Course 15mins. away and the Moore
    Resevoir is right around the corner. You might call Corey's gun
    shop in Littleton for boat/canoe rentals.
    
     It's a great area. Fish in the AM. Take a drive in the afternoon.
    Enjoy a great dinner and goto the lounge for massive amounts of
    cocktails.
    
     It's 2.5 - 3 hrs from Marlboro Ma. Depending on how heavy your
    foot is. 
    
     BTW there is a pool also- Where I leave the wife sunning while
    I hit the little ball around.
    
     Lot's of things to do up there. And remember 
    
     NO SALES TAX -- NO BOTTLE BILL-- NO DUKAKIS!!

    Anyone have any info. on Winnepesake(sp?), after all the talk in
    here about the fishinf thre I thought I might give it a try.
    
                   thanks agian,

    Winni is SO big that no one could give you the info you might be
    looking for w/o specifics (do you plan to bring your own boat, a
    canoe maybe... do you want to know about lodging, camping spots,
    etc?) I suggest, for a start, you get all the Winni info you can
    find at the rest areas along the highway in NH, and scan it. 
    
    I do know that they have several campgrounds right on the water that
    you could at least canoe from, but otherwise I'm spoiled, since
    the in-laws have a condo right on Paugus Bay, w. a nice dock, and
    they let us keep our canoe up there all summer. Unless you're into
    big water boating, you might consider some of the "smaller" big
    lakes that aren't so vast - Winni is BIG!

    Can anyone give me some ideas about vacation spots in New York?
    I have heard mentioning of Squam Lakes.  I would like to camp
    but I am open for all ideas.  I have a 14' aluminum boat powered
    by a 18 hp Evinrude all toted on a trailer.  So I guess I need
    a ramp.  I also have a canoe if that is better.  I will also be
    bringing my wife so I need to find a place that has some sort of
    recreation.  Bingo, shuttle board, basket weaving, anything like
    these which will take time for her and will enable me to fish and
    fish and fish.
    
    				Thank you,

    	Try Lake George (Western Side). Pick a large town and write
    or call the Chamber of Commerce about lodging, camping etc. NY has
    a mountain of vacation guides available. I go to the Finger Lakes
    once in awhile and to Lake Ontario several times a season, but there's
    only fishing where I stay.

    Regards

    I could be wrong again, but isn't Squam Lake (a.k.a. Golden Pond)
    in NH?

	I found the following last night.  It was given to me by a 
	friend who attended the show at the Centrum this past Feb.

	after our busy spring fishing season. Boating hiking, fishing, or 
	just plain relaxing are just some of the many activities available."
	
	"The majority of our summer guests are family vacationers who spend 
	a week or more in one of our housekeeping cabins.  Each cabin is

	make this a comfortable vacation spot while you visit this beautiful

I am looking for a one or two week summer rental in the NH, Mass, Maine or 
Vermont Area.  Would like for it to be on water where we can safely use a
canoe and which we can fish.

Two bedrooms or three.  This will be for my wife and myself, and some time
for my son and his wife and pre-school child.   Also two well mannered 
small dogs (scottie and yorkshire).  Would be willing to discuss a deposit 
is there is a concern about the dogs.

The window that I am considering is june through sept , depending on the 
anticipated weather in the area.  Nearby shopping and dining would be a big
plus.

    I'm trying to plan a fishing vacation and just discovered this file.
    So far it looks like a great conference, but I gotta ask (and maybe
    shouldn't!): what's the legend?
    
    Anyway, the intent of the trip is for me (NH) and my brother (Columbo
    OH) to take his son on a weeklong or so fishing trip.  Aside from 
    fishing, required activities are drinking beer, eating, and sleeping 
    (tents are ok, but a cabin/lodge/whatever is preferred).  A place that 
    rents boats is essential.
    
    So far, I'm thinking either the Deep River area of Ontario (looks like
    Ottawa is about 6 or 700 miles from both of us) or Table Rock Lake,
    Missouri.  Obviously, that leaves alot of other places to consider,
    but BPS and Cabelas are both out of their "outdoor adventure" type
    catalogs and I'm only familiar with my local waters.  So, does anyone
    have any recommendations for good places to go and stay?  I expect 
    fly-in places to be rather expensive and thus need to be able to
    drive there somehow.  Ideas please.
    
    Thanks,
    Bob A.
    

    Bob, If your considering Canada or Nothern New England or Upstate
    New York, I'd recommend stopping by the Worceseter Fishing Expo at
    the Centrum tnight or this weekend.  They have an entire section
    with booths from various fishing camps and outfitters.  Lots of
    great information available there. Good luck, and welcome to the
    fishing notesfile, donmac
    
    Oy yea, I almost forgot, "the legend" refers to "The Legend of the
    Lakes", a mythical being that doesn't actually exist (and therefore
    does not actually catch fish).  I believe the random outbursts that 
    appear within these notes, which claim to be the writings of "the 
    legend", are actually the work of a complex, but extremely 
    simple-minded personality simulator, left over from some long lost 
    hacker of old. 8^)

    The Wooster Expo had a wealth of info.  For anyone else seeking
    Canada (Ontario at least) trips, the tourist department puts out an
    excellent brochure on fishing trips.  It includes the camp name and
    location, types of fish you might encounter, as well as prices.  Looks
    like around $600 US gets you a week at most places including a boat.
    Some camps have "housekeeping" cottages and you cook, others (lodges)
    include meals.
    
    I spoke with 2 of the Ontario camp reps, Gogama Lodge and K/O Lodge.
    These seem like pretty good choices.  Info from Table Rock Lake is
    on its way.  If that looks good (and the boss agrees) I'll head to
    T.R. in April and Ontario in August.
      
    Depending on the number of requests, I'm willing to IO mail copies 
    of stuff I've gathered thus far.  Send mail to amber@ravine.
