My 2024 Return To Maine

I will be returning to Maine in 159 days for two weeks.  During this time, I will be seeing places I have never seen before. I will be taking a lot of photos like I did the last time I was there. I will also be doing a lot of fishing, one with the bug rod and the other with the eggbeater.  I wanted to show you folks where I will be taking some photos based upon your recommendations and if you have other suggestions, please let me know.  I will be up in Maine from Sept 21^st until October 5^th. 

This will be the latest trip in Maine I have ever done. I am limited to where I can take my vehicle because of the vertical clearance she has. Not to say I won’t chance it while practicing some common sense lol.  She is going to be replaced next year with another Soob that has higher vertical clearance. 

Because of extreme sensitivity and respect for the fishery and my friends I will not be talking about where I am fishing or accessing the areas I will be at.  For those who know you don’t need a map lol.

So, my first screen shot here is of the Height of Land area. I have found three vistas via Goggle Earth Pro and Google Maps.

Here are the coordinates for one of the vistas:  44°51'9.51"N  70°42'12.60"W. The second vista is here 44°49'22.77"N,  70°42'20.62"W and the third vista is here  44°50'18.75"N  70°42'37.02"W.

Here is one of the places I will be headed too Quill Hill located here: 45° 2'40.76"N  70°31'17.70"W

I will be also going to the site of the B-52 crash to pay my respects located here 45°31'40.40"N  69°26'5.10"W.

I won’t give details about where I will be in the following area, but for discussion we can call it Baxter State Park.  I will be up here in this area for three days. I will be float tubing a pond and fishing one other bodies of water up there that will remain nameless by me due to respect for all. I have rented a cabin that will be amazing to call home for the time I am up there.

I will be returning to base camp after this which is down coast and while I hope to fish with a few old friends and possibly new ones after a few days of that I will return to Acadia.

I will be rock crawling and scrambling for three days.  I will be taking a lot of photos of the seascape and going up to Cadillac Mountain. I will be using an eggbeater here because the majority of the shoreline will not allow you to overhead cast. The Pollock will be my main quarry here and trying for something larger with the larger rod rigged for deeper water around sunken structure.

The information I am only looking for is places to take photos and I do not want any fishy access information.  As you know enough about me by now, it’s all about adventure.

Needless to say, I am all tied up for Maine saltwater flies and freshwater flies are all done. I am leaving my bobbers at home. This will be a swinging trip and a still water tactics trip.

Wow I almost forgot so while headed up north and around the Rangeley area are there any good places to get a meal?  I do not require anything fancy but what I do want to experience is anywhere you would get that feeling of home. I am looking for any and all recommendations.

 Thank you,
