MAINE - Life in the Slow Lane
Hi Dave
For an example, please go to this site http://manzer.org/It is Bill Gass" site and has lots of maps with named pools.
Stephen
Pretty cool Thanks Stephen.
Dave, after you come up for a few fishing trips to NB we'll get you to shotgun the screech and kiss the cod and then you'll be an honorary New Brunswicker (like Lee) and you'll have no problem remembering salmon pool names. Ah oh wait that initiation is for Newfoundland, OK don't worry we'll have lots of time to come up with one before you get here. lol. As for pool names, after you've been to a few of them and seen what swims by or what momentarily decides to sample your fly then spit it back at you, then the names and locations are blazened into you head and you won't soon forget them. The old maps on the site are good for pool names as they are all marked on there but the confusion starts when one pool has several local names or variations of the name. Take for example the High Brow on the Renous (Big pool just down stream from the forks) I have heard it called Big Hole (as if there weren't 3 or 4 other places called the same) High Bank, High Sand bank. And to cap it all off I don't even see it on the old maps at manzer.net.

Bill I can't wait to the day I get up there. I would love learn each and every pool. I would love to see Old Ted Williams camp and pool. (Being a Red Sox fan) Would be neat to say I fished it . I guess I will have to rely on you guy's to keep the names of the old pool names straight for me. . Hope to be up there in the next couple of years if all goes well. Dave V
Thanks Stephen I thought it might be something like that. Seams like allot of pools to rememeber.
Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was
cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.
On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words,
and some of the words are theirs.
