1199.0. "Any Lakes in Wells?" by GRAMPS::LASKY () Mon Jul 17 1989 17:46

    I will be up to Maine in the Wells area and was wondering if any of you
    Maine boys know of a Fresh water pond or lake that I could try my luck
    for Bass or Trout?
    
    				Thanks,

    Bart,
    	I gave the map a quick look and it doesn't look too promising in
    the Wells area. Wells is known more for salt water fishing. I'll check 
    my reference library at home tonight and let you know what I find.
    	Of course you could try to tag along with George and the secret 
    service and do a little ocean fishing. ;^)
    Regards,
    Paul

    Bart,
    
    I was in Ogunquit over 7/4 weekend and although I didn't see any
    ponds/lakes to speak of, I recall passing over (on route 1) quite
    a few streams that looked inviting.  Bring your flyrod .. who knows,
    might be searun brookies or something.

    Bart,
    	I checked a few sources at home and it doesn't look good for fresh
    water in the Wells area. As stated in a previous reply, the Ogunquit 
    River does have sea run browns but it was described as a Fall fishing
    opportunity.
    	If you want to fish the area I'd suggest bringing along a surf rig.
    You'll can get Stipers and Blues at the mouth of the Saco and probably
    the Ogunquit as well. If you decide to do this give a call to Saco Bay
    Tackle Company (207-284-4453). Cal Robinson and the staff are very
    knowledgeable about local fishing. (Actually, it wouldn't be a bad idea
    to call them regarding your original question.)
    Hope this helped.

    	BART, 
    
    	If you didn't mind traveling a little they have some 
    	fine lakes in Maine. The out of state licenses are 
    	high. Take in some deep sea fishing  and enjoy
    	some lobsters.

            Try going inland a little ways to Little Ossipee Lake in 
            Waterboro,Me.I believe it is about a 20-30 minute ride,but
            it has Lakers and some nice bass.Its a large lake and a 
            good launch which never really gets busy.
