Barto lives in Pittsfield and practices in Concord. He thinks Rapid is just
the other side of Paradise.

It is. Paradise is in Alaska on Moraine Creek. d;o)

I'd prefer the Miramichi, where he and I fish
together.

The Miramichi is next on my list. Will probably get there next year. Can you
recommend a good place to stay? Guide?

The way I read that ad you're not buying the location, just
leasing it. That's a lot of money for leased land.

Everything on the Richardson lakes is leased, including Lakewood Camps. The
paper company seldom gives permission to lease a lot and build a cabin.
Therefore, the properties are very expensive for what you get. Lakewood has
been there on leased land for about 90 years, so I don't think there is too
much danger in losing your lease. I have never heard of a lease being
canceled.

Some lucky folks actually own the property on the river. Aldro French and Ray
Shabott (sp) own land and camps below Lower Dam, and a dentist named Taylor
owns an island on Pond in the River.

I was up there for a week a couple of weeks ago. River is low, but fishing
well. CDC dry fly pulled under at end of drift and twitched on the return
fooled some very nice brookies and salmon. We'll return next Sunday for our
last week this year.
