Love that moose horn EB! I woulda took the time to drown a worm in that lake. 

That's a "Heritage Lake". 

One of the remaining waterways here in Maine that is not stocked and still maintains it's own fish population. Brook trout in this case. 

NO live bait allowed. 

 

 

I've thought about fishing there but didn't find good access til this year. The outside edge is VERY shallow and some kinda muddy. 

 

Trina was trying to get a different viewpoint for one of the above pics and she found one can leap rocks to get out aways.  

 

Maybe next year I'll bring a rod. 

 

 

The moose piece we found waaaaay out in the puckerbrush on an old old grown in logging road that was only being used as a game trail for decades. 

Zoom in on the very last pic and you'll see that's an old log bridge!

@ebinmaine What is that distant mountain in pic #7?  And were there any loons up there?  The noisy birds I mean, not the RS commenters. 🤪

That mountain is Mount Katahdin. 

 

"Mount Katahdin - Wikipedia" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Katahdin

 

 

An incredible place in and of itself. We've hiked that in the past as well. In fact twice in 3 days. One of those was a 16 mile day in which we hit Mt Hamlin and the Katahdin peak the same day. 

 

There were loons, yes. The birds. And also me and Trina and our friend. 😜

 

We also saw a VERY good assortment of other birds. Osprey. Bald eagle. Cooper's hawk. Other unidentified hawks. Many other birds like ducks, cormorants, blue jays, hummingbirds, chickadees etc...

Love Maine and that is a nice Brook Trout.  If the wife would do it, I would move back out there.  The UP Michigan is the closest I can get around here...unless I go to Canada.  Eric, you are making me remember how beautiful Maine is.  Thanks

How did it get that name, Eric.

 

Great country. Makes me feel kind of envious.

Not sure on the name sir.   

I've wondered myself.  

 

Your own country side is nice as well.
