Maine Brook Trout & Salmon Fishing Mooselookmeguntic 2010

My wife and I took a road trip to Maine hoping for 3 days of some lakeside end of summer fun in the sun. However cooler temperatures rolled in along with some heavy wind and rain. Which prevented us from pursuing other water activities, like swimming and the beach. It was even cold enough that we had to load the fireplace with wood to keep the cabin warm at night. Not what we had in mind but that's mother nature but we made the best of it and still managed to have a great time. We ate well, relaxed and of course fished. We stayed at Bald Mountain Camps Resort on Lake Mooselookmeguntic, which sports native and self-sustaining populations of wild brook trout as well as landlocked salmon. In addition we also caught some yellow perch and fallfish. The lake also has a public boat launch and a near by sporting goods shop. There are also fishing guides in the area however we chose to self-guide ourselves. The scenery is very beautiful. The fishing was a little rough at first but we were able to figure them out before ending our trip. This home movie/fishing video shows some of the highlights we were able to capture on our camera.

One of my favorite lakes to troll, If it was too windy you could've gone up to Aziscohos, usually if its windy on Moose-look, its not bad up there, Looks like the last day was perfect, Salmon chop and over cast....

I wish I had a woman who would video tape me fishing!

So, you need the lead line? What bait did you use?  Were you trolling? I tried Mooselook (near Student Island off Toothaker) in my kayak and didn't get a nibble.
