Moose and Ice Fishing News From Rangeley

March 26, 2008 - RANGELEY -- The Rangeley Region Guides' and Sportsmen's Association February speaker was Master Maine Guide Roger Lambert. He is co-owner of Maine Guide & Outfitter Services. Right from the beginning, Roger had the entire audience in stitches with his Maine humor. He introduced himself as a lifetime Maine resident saying simply, "They don't talk like this anywhere else."

Roger discussed the techniques and skills needed to hunt a trophy moose. He said that the most important detail is the ability to make a complete fool of yourself while trying to sweet talk a bull moose with tenor-like bellows. The best asset a moose has is his nose while his sight is very poor.

The chance of winning the moose lottery and obtaining a moose hunting permit is limited, but Roger stresses the fact that anyone can go into the great woods armed with a camera to enjoy the interaction with this majestic animal during the rut. Not only does he guide the lucky permit winners but the curious moose watchers as well. Always practice safety and caution!

Roger's son, Rusty, took the skills his father taught him, and now is a top guide for Winterhawk Outfitters in the Flat Top Wilderness Area of Colorado. They provide back country mule deer hunts on horse back. Also attending the meeting was Roger's partner and master moose/turkey caller, Matt Bailey. To leam more about their guide service you can call 1-877-WE-Guide. Thank you, Roger and Matt for a fun and informative meeting.

Another highlight of February's meeting was the "Moosehead Togue Chowder" brought to the potluck meal. A few lucky RRG&SA members and friends went to Moosehead Lake for the weekend of February 15th. Hosts were camp owner Bob Laliberty and son Seth. The smelts, shiners, and suckers used for bait were all successful. A jigged "Swedish Pimple" with a piece of cut bait worked well also.

This year there was a new rule for Moosehead Lake togue (lake trout). For togue less than 18" there is no size or bag limit. For togue over 18" there is a bag limit of two. This change is designed to reduce the number of short togue, who are voracious feeders, allowing brook trout and salmon a larger share of the forage fish. This change also allows for some fast fishing and an additional reason to feel good about putting some tasty fish on the table. All Salmon were released at once and no brook trout were caught. Thanks to Bob and Seth for their hospitality.
