Thanks Bob, there's no place quite as timeless as Tim Pond. Sorry to have missed you all this year.

Quash--

Thanks for the photos! I love how the colors of the PHY Driggs, the 444 Peach line on the leaded St George reel, the brook trout, the sunsets, and even the sunlight reflection off the underside of the dark clouds over Elephant Mountain all complement each other! However, what should we expect from a place located in "Upper Enchanted Township!"

Very nice

Great photos. I think there is a creation story there - How the Sunset Gave the Trout Its Colors. Or vice versa.

[steeliefool]

Sweet!! What it's all about.

Gorgeous photos, Bob. What a rich heritage.

Nice place indeed, and a beautiful catch.

So sorry to miss it! The lake and environment is wonderful but the sharing of our addictions with friends is what i miss the most! Have fun, folks!

Bob, literally for one of those ephemeral sensory moments I could smell the air from the setting when I first viewed the boat house photo. It’s extraordinary how a trigger like a photo can work in this manner.

Thanks!

Thank you, beautiful pics. If I never make it to Labrador, Maine will be my fallback bucket list destination.

Footnote: I've just returned from a few days at Tim, where I shared a cabin with Bill Krohn and we sampled a few evenings of fishing 'like it used to be'. Despite afternoons of high winds and treacherous whitecaps, always observed from our porches, the pond surface laid down to near glassy conditions shortly after our last mouthfuls of supper.The evenings ended with an hour or two of increasing hatching activity and crazy fast feeding activity by voracious native brookies in the fading light. Rises two feet from the boat, trout taking flies as they sank, any kind of rise form you can imagine, from faint dimples to head & tail forms to greyhounding and porpoising. Patterns were less important than placement. One difference from the old days is that the average size is up, a pleasant surprise these last few years, and with the size increases we've been treated to extended battles.
Wildlife sightings at Tim this year included an otter feasting on heads and tails discarded down at the dock,the ever present moose and deer along the shoreline in the mornings, large broods of waterfowl, a bald eagle watching over a nesting loon mother, and a lynx that perched on a spruce leaning over the water's edge to snatch an unwary duck that swam underneath. With a little luck I'll return within the next couple weeks. There's a lot more to learn and lots more to catch.
I brought home the allowable two fish limit for Cathie and will try to get a couple of snapshots posted before she consumes them tomorrow night after they've defrosted. I had one for breakfast each morning with my bacon & eggs - never better.
To Dr. Baits, Jerry G., Bob Stewart, Short Tip, and Rex, get on back here to share it with us again.
(Rex, we're sorry your visit was cut short last week. Next year......)
