FROM THE MAINE WOODS. 



Curritunk, Me. 

 Editor Recreation. 



I have just returned here from Parlin pond, 

 where I have been the past ten days, guiding 

 Messrs. W. Y. Wadleigh and A. F. Wheaton, of 

 Boston. 



On Saturday, June ist, we went in to Grace 

 pond, five miles from Parlin pond, and in three 

 days fishing they caught 520 trout, all with the 

 fly. Most of these fish were returned to the 

 water. We also saw, in that time, 17 deer, some 

 of which were so tame that we rowed within 50 

 feet of them. Tuesday we returned to Parlin 

 pond. 



Wednesday we went in to Long pond, three 

 miles from Parlin pond, where we caught 180 

 trout. We also fished part of one day at Parlin 

 pond, catching 40 trout, making in all 740. The 

 largest trout taken in Parlin pond, so far this 

 spring, weighed 2}4 pounds. 



There are not many sportsmen at Parlin pond, 

 at present, as the rush to that place does not 

 begin until the first of July. 



Mr. Alex Cox and frigid, of Skowhegan, Me., 

 were in to Ellis p^id*ast week fishing; they 

 brought out a fine lot of trout, some of them 

 weighing three pounds each. 



Ellis pond is 10 miles from The Forks, reached 

 by a good wagon road. Parties visiting Pleasant 

 pond this spring report good fishing. Deer seem 

 to be more numerous than ever this summer. 

 One evening, while at Parlin pond, we counted 

 seven in the field, in front of the hotel. They 

 were so tame, that some of the guests walked to 

 within 100 feet of them.
