The Bass Were Biting

After traveling from CT, we arrived on Saturday evening to find the cabin very cozy. We spent a very busy week fishing, canoeing and kayaking. We found Prong Pond very useful for all three activities. The small mouth bass were biting! Beware, Prong Pond is bigger than your average pond!

We did see about four moose total on the road to Greenville, but not all of us got to see them. If you want to go on the moose tours hosted by Northwoods Outfitters, then make your reservations now because we missed out.

The boys of our group advise that there is good trout fly fishing in the Kennebec River. We brought up tire tubes and had a great time in the river/falls.

To jump off the cliff into the swimming hole is a bit shallow at this moment, but still fun if you have a buddy down below telling you where the rocks are. We had a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing.

P.S. - We left some tire tubes under the porch for everyone to enjoy.*

    For those planning on tubing, Big Wilson is navigable by inner tube (water level permitting) all the way down to Willimantic (seven miles downstream), but watch out for the dual dropoffs at Tobey Falls, just north of the Willimantic bridge. Depending on the volume of water over those falls, they can be very dangerous. I am a former college swim team captain and marathon swimmer, and I would not risk my life riding that stretch of the river. There are paths you can portage around those falls.

    Also, for your safety, never swim or ride the tubes alone!
