Because getting lost is a real possibility though, many newcomers to the Maine woods often stay at one of the many sporting camps that are located directly on remote trout ponds, or visit places that are easy to locate, such as Baxter State Park and the Deboullie Preserve. Of course, unless you are a geologist or chemist, there really isn’t any easy way to determine the amount of nutrients that are present in the water. Whether you ascend it from Chimney on the same day or, head back down and attempt your climb from the other side on Abol, or The Hunt Trail. The elevation at Chimney Pond is 2,914 feet and that is the least impressive thing about your experience when you arrive. Here we are again at the beginning of what will surely be another glorious summer of adventure in the great state of Maine. The key is to narrow the scope of your investigation down to a manageable area. A variety of sporting camps such as Tim Pond Camps and Bosebuck Mountain Camps can also provide more exclusive access to some of the remote ponds in this region. Late last August I was asked, and I declined, to become a driver trainer. One wrong step and your great day on the trail could take a bad turn. Like I said before, I know many of you love “roughing it” and are of the opinion that we aren’t “camping” when we lie down in our air conditioned campers in the evening and wake up to the smell of our coffee brewing already from the coffee maker, but if you pass by our camper and see Kj or I sitting by the campfire or messing around with something feel free to say hi and pull up a chair. I know that Roderick Haig Brown didn’t have a remote Maine trout pond in mind when he said, “Sometimes, the least important thing about fishing, is the fishing.”  But occasionally, when I’m sitting in my canoe watching a mature bull moose forage along a shoreline draped in brilliant fall colors, or listening to the haunting call of a loon cut through the stillness of a foggy morning, I think that he very well could have. A number of studies have shown that wild trout tend to grow faster, live longer and deal better with the rigors of life in a harsh environment than trout produced in a hatchery. I’ll try very hard not to do so again. I had plenty of food, snacks, bug spray, and clothes for any kind of weather. As always, if you come across a tall skinny kid making fun of his middle-aged Dad feel free to say “Hi!” Hope to see you out there. This year, just like last year, we will be in the park during the last week of June. Because of its size, Nesowadnehunk often gets rough when the wind kicks up during the middle of the day, so most experienced anglers confine their efforts to early morning and evening. The inside of our tent was not leaking, but everything was damp from condensation. Our favorite place in Maine would have to be Baxter State Park. He’ll be giggling away almost from the start and if you aren’t laughing as well by the end of the tale then you just don’t know what funny really is! East Chairback is marginally acidic, which means that during some years, large numbers of young trout are killed by acid rain. a.lake-photo img:hover { border: 8px solid yellow; }, Click the printer icon for printable depth map, Click the printer icon for printable aerial map. West Chairback is a healthy pond with adequate spawning habitat and a good survival rate for juvenile trout. Now, even though I declined the offer, I was made a driver trainer anyway. All trophy ponds are FFO and have increased size and reduced bag limits. We spent one day exploring as many waterfalls as we could find and another driving the tote road from the south gate to the north. a.lake-photo img { border: 8px solid white; margin: 0 12px 25px 0; max-width: 350px; width: 350px; } The whole trip from the Ranger’s Station at Roaring Brook to the summit and back comes in at a little over 4 miles total. Nonetheless, most people who leave town armed with the maps contained in the Maine Atlas and Gazetteer, and a full tank of gas, eventually arrive at their intended destination. Most of what he tells me on our hikes go completely over my head. Later, when you climb Katahdin and look down upon Chimney Pond from Baxter Peak, you will begin to realize just how massive this mountain really is because Chimney appears to be a small blue dot in an expansive sea of green.
