Bill, I would think anyone who fishes for LL Salmon in Maine would be screaming, according to the article 80% of stocked LL come from that hatchery.

Thanks for the update Bill . I wish the common folk had more imput when it comes to things like this. Put the dang thing to a vote across the state then live with that vote. I am just upset about letting developer' building condo's around the Moosehead and Rapid River Area.Some places need to be left alone. Going to spoil everything about the place. Dave V

I was planning on renting one this spring, I think that I've got my brother in law and a few other guys talked into a weekend trip to GLS. It's only about 2.5 hours from here. I've been looking at Canalside Cabins and Grand Lake Lodge cabins. Both are $42.00 per person per night, very reasonable rates and frankly the condition of the cabins is a minor concern as I don't plan to be in them much, only to sleep. We've got some pretty rustic cabins here in NB on some of the Crown Reserves. Where you have to eat fast lest the mice and red squirrels get to the food first. Once when I was speaking to a gentleman who was staying at Loggie Lodge, I was complaining about how aggressive the squirrels were and he said that he'd take squirrels any day as his cabin had bats. Oh but it's just pure entertainment when the waters high and the salmon aren't taking and the boys get bored and start chasing mice or trying to whack a bat out of mid air with a broom. Hint, you can swing at a bat from the front all day and their echo location is alot faster that human reflexes, the trick is to come up from behind with the broom.

Bill, I stayed in Canalside about 15 years ago not the same owners as now. Nice enough place. Like you the only time spent in cabin was eating, tying up some flies and sleeping. I haven't been back but it would be a shame to lose that hatchery. You'd like to think that the politicians would have more brains and do the right thing but that's why they are politicians.

LOL , money runs deep into thier pockets once they are elected, changes how they once thought before they took office. Thats why its up to us to stop this proposal in its tracks. Get a partition going. Get the fishing clubs involved. Get the word out on how important this hatchery is to the economy of Maine in the long run, Tell them how important it is for the fisherman Give them something to think about other then a one sided opinion, Dave V
