Description

Yes, as you read this the lakes and streams in Lower and Central Maine will be just about free of ice—and the famous fishing waters of Northern Maine beginning to clear. From "ice-out” until early summer it's simply in the cards for you to find, here, the fishing of your life.

Landlocked salmon and trout will be at their hungriest and lunging for lures that have not challenged them the whole winter long (by the way, you'll find both these great battlers in many Maine waters). If you are going to be able to fish this year— NOW IS THE TIME-AND MAINE IS THE PLACE.

Days spent fishing in Maine are days that will add years to the lives of thousands of war weary veterans, fatigued workers and mentally fagged executives. Here in outdoor Maine they can relax under a kindly sun, in crisp balsam-scented air, 'mid the inspiring spell of an awakening Nature just beginning to don her glorious greens of Spring. Exercise-sharpened appetites will be satisfied with good, nourishing foods. They'll sleep soundly by night after the healthy tiredness of a day's fishing. Their minds and bodies will be quickly conditioned into a renewed eagerness to work hard for victory.

• Maine's fishing camps will be open with a hospitable welcome to old fishing friends and new and anxious to make your next fishing vacation something to be long remembered.

• Send for our 1945 fishing guide, with information on regulations, seasons and a special map of Maine's fishing areas.
