Upper Dam

Upper Dam separates Mooselookmeguntic Lake from Upper Richardson Lake.  The most productive water is the Huge pool that sits directly below the dam.  Anglers fish from aprons that extend out from the dam and cast into the tail races or work the many different riffles, runs and eddies.  This is a haloed water in fly fishing history of the Rangeley Region. It was here at Upper Dam that Carrie Stevens originated her famous Gray Ghost Streamer. She summered here with her husband, who was a
local guide, and built a successful business. She built acclaim for herself by crafting the finest flies around and
selling them to visiting anglers.  She designed many different patterns of varying colors and intricacy
that caught the attention of both the trout & salmon and also the fishermen!
