The following account, prepared by one of 

 the party, is intended to describe some of the 

 events of a remarkable Trout Fishing Excursion 

 to the lakes and streams of northern Maine, in 

 the month of June, 18G9. 



THE OQUOSSOC ANGLING ASSOCIATION, 

 of which Mr. Geo. Shepard Page, of Stanley, 

 N. J., is President, composed at present of 

 thirty gentlemen of Maine, Massachusetts, New 

 York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, have pur- 

 chased a large tract of land enclosing several 

 fine trout ponds and streams in northern Maine; 

 and a large house is now being erected for the 

 accommodation of themselves, their wives and 

 children. As a summer resort in the wild woods 

 this locality will surpass anything of the kind 

 in Maine, or in the Adirondacks of New York, 

 in the glorious sport of brook trout fishing 

 which it aftbrds, and in its many facilities for 

 agreeable camp life.
