After spending Friday night at the Poland, Maine camp of a coworker along with
one of his friends (and now one of mine), we drifted the Androscoggin
"Dixfield" stretch on Saturday, me in my wee 12' Katahdin, and they in their
16' canoe. As the river had been running at high-tide the previous week we'd
been eyeing the on-line USGS river flow out of the Rumford dam and it was
finally approaching historic norms for the week. So far so good.


You've had some FINE fishing on that stretch of water this Summer! Love
to try it sometime.

Yes indeed, it has given us some outstanding days of fishing both in numbers
and size. And given the warnings about fish consumption the only threat would
be folks looking for wall hangers (and I doubt there's enough of those folks
to make much of a dent in the smallie population).

If you ever make it out this way in the latter half of summer (my only
experience at this point) I'm sure Dave B. or I would be happy to spend the
day getting hammered by big smallies with you!
