CHAPTER XVI 

 TROUT FLY-FISHING IN THE RANGELEY REGION 



The Rangeley Region is in the northwestern part of 

 Maine. It comprises a section in which are located the 

 lakes and headwaters of the Androscoggin River. 



They are, starting at the extreme northern point and 

 working south, the Seven Ponds, the upper section of 

 Kennebago Stream, Little Kennebago Lake, through 

 which Kennebago Stream runs, the middle section of Ken- 

 nebago Stream, which connects with Kennebago Lake, 

 and then continues south to Kennebago Falls, where the 

 middle section of the stream ends. 



Continuing south from Kennebago Falls there is the 

 lower section of Kennebago Stream, which joins Range- 

 ley Stream, which stream connects Rangeley Lake with 

 Cupsuptic Lake. Then comes Mooselucmaguntic Lake, 

 Upper Richardson Lake, Lower Richardson Lake, and 

 Umbagog Lake, the last-named emptying into the An- 

 droscoggin River. 



In addition to these lakes there is Parmachenee Lake, 

 which is to the northwest of Cupsuptic Lake and located 

 about parallel with Little Kennebago Lake and separated 

 from it by West Kennebago Mountain and Cupsuptic 



Stream.
