The Ice is Going

Created on Sun Mar 14, 2010 by Don Kleiner

Argy Noah and I hiked to the top of Maiden Cliff in Camden. The cliff is very plain from the lake and I usually point out the cross high up on the cliff face to clients on fishing trips. I also recommend the short hike up the trail for the view; you can see out over Penobscot Bay for some distance and look down on the lake. We hiked up to right above the cross and took this picture looking across the lake back toward the boat launch on Route 105 where I start and end my fishing trips.Megunticook Lake in Early Spring

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can plainly see the trails at the Snow Bowl Camden’s ski area (their last day of operation for the winter) but most importantly there is a fair amount of open water. The ice has melted away from the shore along much shoreline around the islands. There is a real possibility of being able to launch a boat and fish this April first (the first day of our open water fishing season). With the rain and wind of Sunday afternoon I am sure that the ice has broken up even more and it is only the middle of March!
