Fish and Fishing 



Its innumerable lakes and rivers, with countless 

 tributaries, teem with fish, notwithstanding the 

 . continuous drain on the supply made every 

 season by an army of fishermen from all 

 parts of the country. I shall, therefore, only 

 mention its larger fishing places, the smaller 

 brook fishing (though good) being of secondary 

 consideration. In this vast region of 15,000 

 square miles of forest-covered land, with running 

 streams that are tributaries and often connect its 

 many large lakes, the angler will find plenty of 

 sport, wherever he chooses to go. 



In the waters of the Piscataquis and Hunt 

 Brook, and in Schoodic Lake there will be found 

 big trout and togue; near Milo Junction is Pleas- 

 ant River with its many branches, all well stocked 

 with trout of fair size; in Roaring Brook, Houston 

 Pond, Hounston Brook, Mountain Pond, Lyford, 

 West Branch, Greenwood, Cedar, Spruce, Chair- 

 back and B ponds, and the upper waters of Pleas- 



. .. ant River itself, is good fishing; worthy

Katahdin Iron Works reaches another good lo- 

 cality for big trout. 



The Rangeley Lakes are widely known for 

 their numerous and large trout and togue. Sebec 

 Lake, a tributary to the Piscataquis River, is sur- 

 rounded by good fishing in Goose Pond, Millj 

 Brook, Grape Pond, Long, Second, | 

 Third, Fourth, Burden, and Benson j 

 ponds. The railway to Monson, will place the} 

 angler near Hebron and many other ponds. Near
