Salmon in 1981 averaged 23.2 inches in length and 3 pounds, 15 ounces in weight. 4-year-old salmon...averages 24.4 inches long and 5V2 pounds in weight! Togue...averaging 26.4 inches in length and 7 pounds, 11 ounces in weight The largest togue reported weighed 18 pounds, 14 ounces... many “old time fishermen ”... who have fished the lake for 50 years or more... could not remember when larger salmon were taken. Even some of the old angler records. . . on people who “trained up” from Boston to fish SEBAGO LAKE in the early 1900s, were not any more impressive than the 1981 records. A few larger salmon were caught back in those days, but the average salmon caught was similar in size to those caught in 1981. Salmon have to weigh at least 6 pounds to qualify for the “One That Didn’t Get Away Club”, and.. .1 can guess that somewhere between 50 and 60 entries were made into this club in 1981. ” SEBAGO LAKE’S 28,771 acres also boasts EXCELLENT FISHING for TOGUE, SQUARETAILS, SMALLMOUTH & LARGEMOUTH BASS, WHITE PERCH, WHITEFISH, SMELT & CUSK.

GLENN H. MANUEL J WILLIAM PEPPAHD Commissioner Deputy Commissioner

Dear Anglers,

The great State of Maine has long been famous for its fine fisheries resources, and for the thousands of ponds, lakes, rivers, and streams which offer excellent opportunities to “land a lunker.”

If you are considering a fishing trip in Maine, or have already decided to bring your rod and reel to the Pine Tree State, it is my hope that this booklet will help you plan, and successfully complete, your Maine fishing experience. But there is at least one more folder that every fisherman should have — the regulations book, which itemizes the special regulations on individual waters of Maine, and sets down the general laws and regulations governing angling Down East. If such a folder was not, or is not, supplied with your license, ask for it. It’s a great help!

As you travel through Maine, don’t hesitate to seek assistance from members of the Maine Warden Service. For everything from directions to interpretations of the law, the wardens are there to help — and they know their business!

Again, thank you for choosing the Pine Tree State for your fishing trip, and good fishing wherever you go!

Sincerely,

Glenn H. Manuel Commissioner

forests. Proportionately, Maine is the most heavily forested state in the nation. Aside from the intrinsic beauty of these forests, they provide the material for almost one-third of the state’s industry, in the form of lumber, paper, wood, and various byproducts. The coast of Maine stretches for 3,500 miles and features ap­ proximately 3,500 islands off the mainland. 2,800 of these islands have four or fewer structures on them. The five largest islands are Mount Desert (almost 108 square miles), Deer Isle, Vinalhaven, Georgetown, and Islesboro. There are 2,500 lakes and ponds, 5,000 rivers and brooks, and thousands of miles of inland waterway shoreline. These water areas occupy an aggre­ gate of 1,580, 264 acres. The largest lakes in the state are Moose- head Lake (117 square miles), Sebago Lake, Chesuncook Lake, Mooselookmeguntic and the Twin Lake System. There are 11 streams in the state longer than lOO miles, with the Saint John River (including its southwest branch) stretching for 331 miles.

Maine’s Favorite Fish Recipes

After you've netted your fish, you just may find the next part is even bet­ ter: savoring your success. Few foods can compare with the delicacy and succulence of freshly caught fish. It’s important not to overcook fish, and try not to gild the lily too much — let the wonderful, moist flavor come through. Everyone has his or her favorite recipes; these come from some of Maine’s best anglers. Some plain and some fancier, they are reprinted from THE MAINE WAY COOKBOOK. THE MAINE WAY COOKBOOK is prepared by the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wild­ life (State St., Augusta, ME04330; Attention Cookbook Department). ‘ Include $3.95 per cookbook. 14 MAINE GUIDE TO FISHING

Always cook a chowder the day before, and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight. With any chowder fish, to avoid bones, first clean the fish and remove their heads. Place fish in a cloth sack (one can be improvised with cheesecloth). Dip sack in boiling water just long enough to parboil fish (minute or two, usually). Remove fish from sack, and pull off the skin. The meat may then be rem oved from the bones and placed in the chowder. When writing advertisers, please mention “MAINE GUIDE TO FISHING." MAINE GUIDE TO FISHING 15

Saltwater fishing is a prime sport in Maine, som e by private boats with a single, pair or small group of a few friends; som e by charter boat or head boat, which take groups at a fee. There are 60 of these rental boats operating out of 24 ports on the Maine coast today, taking som e 1,200 fishermen per day out to sea for an all-day fishing expedition. Thousands of private boat owners are out on the salt water daily. There are more than 5,000 motor- boats with engines of more than 10 horsepower now licensed in Maine for commercial fishing alone and many more registered for pleasure use, with fishing a part of the pleasure use for many of them. These fishermen are all in search for one or another of the many choice fish varieties off Maine’s coast: salmon, tuna, cod, mackerel, swordfish, flounder, halibut, pollock, haddock, sea bass, and smelts. Maine is the only state in the country where the Atlantic salm on is caught. No license is needed for saltwater fishing, though if the salmon is followed upstream above tidewaters, a license is required. There are, however, a few restrictions as to equipment and bag limit with w hich the fisherm an should m ake certain h e is familiar. Saltwater fishing is a year-round sport. There are many boats available along Maine’s coast for either small fishing parties or large groups, at fixed charges per day, for saltwater fishing. These boats are inspected by the Coast Guard and licensed by them. There are two types, charter boats, which usually carry up to 6 persons, and head boats, which are larger and usually average 30 person per trip.
