Not at all. Ya done good.

Yours is the only reply so far to the post. I hope others who have experienced
this wonderful fishery will contribute something to save it from development.

I'll send a letter to the LURC and to FoRL sometime this week. Need to
mine Quicken this evening for all the info on how much I spent on my
trip in 2001 (a night in Portland coming and going, the Freeport
massacree, Lakewood, etc.). Don't know if I'll ever get back to Maine,
but I do know I'd be less likely to want to if the Rapid was more
developed and crowded and Lakewood was gone.

Read in an newspaper article on the FFIM site that the Carters didn't
know about the bass problem when they bought Lakewood. They must feel
now like they're threatened from all sides.

Any progress in the effort to reduce the bass numbers?
