THE AREA

The Rangeley Region is located in the beautiful Western Mountains of Maine and contains an abundance of forestland, wildlife, and pristine lakes, rivers, and streams. It has long been known as a “Mecca” for the outdoor enthusiast. Many recreational opportunities exist and revolve around the changing of the seasons such as leaf peeping and hunting in the Fall, skiing and snowmobiling in the Winter, and hiking, biking, boating, and fishing in the Spring and Summer. 
            Fishing was the original draw to the area and in the early 1860’s huge native Brook Trout were discovered to swim throughout its many waters. Fly fishing in particular was the preferred and most accepted means of catching these speckled beauties. Over the years the places that these special fish inhabited and the people who frequented them became the source of legend and lore that made the area famous.
            Today Rangeley’s fly fishing tradition continues and the big Brookies and now also Landlocked Salmon still are plentiful throughout its waters. Many an anglers dreams are realized and fulfilled after a visit to the famed Rangeley Region of Maine.
