Then I just parked on the side of the dirt road and hacked

fish it with someone who knows his way around. *I cast for an hour or
so from the Upper Dam also (hiked in from the gate), but it was
unproductive.

Just stand right below the dam and fish a bead-head pheasant tail
nymph all day.

Right in front of the cabins? Or downstream, where it shallows and you
can get out farther? I was casting from the walkway between the
spillways, but the swirly current made it hard to get a fly to sink.
Maine has a 'no added splitshot" policy, so I decided to tie up some
flies with heavy hooks and heavy beadheads for next time. That will be
this summer, I hope.
