Not for nothing, but don't you think all the chatter on this newsgroup has an affect on the traffic on Rapid River? The only reason I ever went there was because Dave Lacourse frequently said how great the fishing was there. It was just as he advertised, but it was odd how you go on a long trip through the boonies and find yourself on a stream that is just as crowded as a local river that is 30 minutes fron Rochester NY!

The talk about the Rapid on this ng is not responsible for many, if any, flyfishers on the river. It was "discovered" long ago by other means, from magazine to newspaper to TV coverage, and is a very popular subject on "fly fishing maine", a website that acts as a bulletin board/chat room for fly fishers. I have introduced the river to many roffians by having two claves at Lakewood. The only person returning thus far is Peter Charles. I've taken four or five friends to the river, and only one has returned on a regular basis. Most find Lakewood too expensive and don't know how to fish the river except from Lakewood. The only time it is crowded is when fishing conditions are ideal, and then only on the week-ends. The ideal flow is from 450 -1000 cfs. Once it gets above 1200 the locals tend to stay away because they have limited spots to fish and are not capable of wading across the river at the currents or lower dam. While the river continues its popularity, I expect the fishing to be affected. So also goes the western rivers, Penns, Alaska, and Kamchatka. Dave

Well, that and that Orvis/TU have been promoting their "save the Rapid" campaign for several years. At least they're not publishing articles about the secret spot. -- TL, Tim ------------------------ http://css.sbcma.com/timj/
