Maine Fishing Reports from The Rangeley Lakes Region
Check our Maine fishing forum for fishing reports from Registered Maine Guides and Fishing Tackle Shops in the Rangeley Lakes Region of Western Maine. The Rangeley Lakes Region is a four reason resort area reknown for fly fishing and trolling for trophy size Landlocked Salmon and Brook Trout.
Quimby has always been known as 1 of the best ponds in the state and still has trout in the 4 to 5 pound class. Be prepared to get skunked, it fishes very slow if there is no hatch,but there is always the chanch of catching the "big one".
The water is still very cold so nymphs and buggers fished near the bottom should produce,fish them sloooooow,that goes for all the ponds and rivers.

I'm planning on coming down to the Rangely area from Canada for some fly fishing next spring. Quimby pond sounds interesting. Having fished deep ponds succesfully for rainbows up here many times using full sinking fly lines and drifting very slowly with woolly buggers in a canoe. Is that similiar to the technique used at Quimby for the brook trout? What size buggers and streamers and/or other flies?
Cheers

Quimby is a very shallow pond,12' at the deepest,full of feed froh all types of caddis,mays scud fine scale dace, to smelt. The trout can be very fussy.There should be a very large caddis hatch usually starying around the 15th of June.
Tight lines.
