I have enjoyed looking at the lake of my youth. My grandad was a handyman who took care of cottages on the Packard's landing end of the lake. I spent my summer days with my friends at the castle. As an old man now, I look at the lake webcam pics every day, and actually visait the lake every year for a day. The sounds and smells never change and I can close my eyes , take deep breath and I am transported back to the 1950's for a moment. I am curious about the location of the webcam...can anyone tell me?

In reply to Janylee's note of Sept. 12th: I think you are referring to Johnny Ronco, who used to live on North St. on the way in town on the right hand side about two houses back from Park St. He used to sell worms and some hooks and small tackle from his barn. L.C. in Ct.

salmon still hitting at 2 colors for me, but should start running up the falls now. Water is cold(and a few inches deeper). We've had 2 real nice fall days this week! GW

Well I've been told that the boards are back up at the dam and there was some rain last week and the water is up a couple inches...but at least the bleeding has stopped. phew. I was afraid I'd get back to camp this weekend and my boat would be on it's side in mud ;) kj TC187

Thanks so much for all the news about Big John and I can see that he touched many lives. I was wondering about the guy who used to sell nightcrawlers in town. Dad and I used to get them and oh how I did not like those big worms, but I sure loved to fish and that made it all worthwhile.

Catfish Fishing comes with lessons. When I was growing up my folks would rent a cottage on Sebec Lake in Dover Foxcroft, Maine. My sister’s and I would often fish with a short fishing pole off the dock. We caught either sunfish or catfish most of the time. We would place them in our buckets for viewing and then promptly send them back home. Catfish have whiskers and to me, a little kid, I thought they were the ugliest fish I ever saw. I told myself “I will never eat a catfish.” But then I grew up. While at the local seafood market one day, the person behind the counter asked me if I would like to taste some catfish. I cringed at the thought, but then decided I would. It tasted really good. In that moment I learned a valuable lesson, you cannot “judge a fish by his whiskers.”

Big John's store- was removed along with all the buildings in the area,except the skating rink. It became the public boat launch with grass & a picnic area. I went hunting with John one fall - after being out all day,freezing- what what warmed him up, was a bit of "home brew" - it came in a jar; was clear; and burnt your tongue! But it would warm you to your toes... and John would mix it with Fresca. John was a kind, generous,& enjoyable person... missed for all the fun Big John's gave us as kids and more!! His wife couldn't make change, but she could bake pies and brownies... like crazy!

I remember Big John back in the 1960s driving all over the lake on the ice under a full moon pulling a bunch of us on ice skates on a long rope behind his old Jeep. Must have been a dozen of us or more. I never did know what he drank to keep warm but he enjoyed it and so did we. -Gil-

I've been going to Sebec Lake since I was, I think 10 yrs old. I am now 30. Every visit up there is an amazing one and I get so sad to leave. This year has been the hardest to leave b/c I have to go to Cali. for 8 months. I am truely missing the lake, the sunsets, the loons and just the absolute peacefulness of it. I truely hope, some day, to be able to live on the lake...year round...

Well salmon are still bitting on 2-3 colors, but I hear the eagles are up at early's falls waiting for them to jump to spawn so some must be starting to run up to the falls. Lake is calming down now. Glad to hear the game warden was on sebec sunday. GW

When I was in Lowell last summer, they were also concerned about people swimming in the canals that used to feed the textile water powered plants. The openings that drain the water into the turbine inlets are quite powerful and will suck up a swimmer just like that at even a small depth. Don't swim by the dam. Glad to hear the report Gil, Thanks!

Thanks for the salmon update GW. You must be fishing just off the sandbar where it drops off quickly? Any size to them?

getting salmon on 2 colors in front of the castle - seems the big ones surface there to attack the lure, The rest are at 5 colors or 35 feet. We see feeding salmon at 15 feet or so on the fish finder.

Forgot to add that they are also replacing the rubber gaskets on both gates as the old ones are worn out and contribute to the leakage.

More info on the low water at the lake. I stopped in and talked with one of the guys working on the dam today and found that they are in the middle of major repairs to the dam following the FERC inspection last month. They have jackhammered out all the visible cracks and filled them with an epoxy. They found holes opening up under the dam and have hired a team of divers - hopefully starting next week - to pump a sealer under the dam to stop the leaks. FERC was very concerned about people jumping off the bridge being sucked into these holes under the dam, hence the "No Tresspassing" signs all over the place (which haven't won them any friends in the Village).

Of course they had to lower the water so none is going over the dam to get this work done. While this is being done, the smaller of the 2 turbines is out for overhaul. It is a four-bladed, variable pitch unit about 30" (?) in diameter. The larger turbine is 6 feet in diameter. The whole repair project will be almost $500,000. Anyone wanting more info should stop in to the dam. They welcomed me and gave me a tour which was very interesting and had never met me before.

Another reason for the low water is obvious - lack of rain. Bear Brook, Mill Brook and Clark Brook in Bowerbank are almost completely dry.

Enjoying the camp even though the fishing isn't great right now.

Mike,

Our camp is on the north side next to Canoodlin Point...but we live in Washington State most of the year. When not in Maine, we check in with the web cam a lot and really enjoy it. We have been trying to figure out exactly where you are located so we can wave when we go by in the boat.

Sebec report late july- The water is very warm. Loon babies(by castle, bucks cove, deer point) are double in size since they hatched a few weeks ago. Salmon are biting coper mooseleuk at 2&1/2 colors trolled slow on bright days. Mosquitoes come after it rains but die as soon as it gets hot each day. The water level is low, perhaps nearly a foot. And the beaches are big! Rocks are high. The lake is incredibly clear this season as there is not much sediment. from rainfall. I had to come down to NYC for a few days for work last night, but I should be back on Sebec monday AM!

Speckled trout is a brook trout, therefore splake is a cross between brook and lake trout. Possible crosses can occur in wild, but very very rare due mainly to differences in spawning habitat (that and different genes!). I wouldn't count on seeing them in Sebec, or any other large body of water in Maine anytime soon. And if they would be introduced, they don't naturally reproduce well and would probably not generate a self sustaining population.

Salmon are native to four 'drainages' in Maine, those listed by RS as well as West Grand Lake (and any connected bodies of water in those drainages). As the most popular sportfish in Maine, any introduction that would negatively impact salmon won't legally happen, such as brown trout or rainbows. And that's a good thing, Sebec is a wonderful salmon fishing lake that should stay that way.

Hornpout are commonly known in books as brown bullhead (and maybe also the yellow bullhead). Tasty, but relatively small if you've ever caught a decent channel cat.

: Tuesday July 17, 2007
: 09:38 PM

Back in the early days of the state of Maine there were only three lakes in the state that had Salmon in them.Sebego lake Green lake and the beautiful Sebec.In order for salmon to thrive in a body of water they need a good smelt population.When you have a good smelt run in the spring the salmon will feed well.The problem is so will the lake trout.Lake Trout have put a squeez on the Salmon .The state thought it would be a good idea to stock Sebec with Lake Trout and the trout have done well in the lake but Salmon fishing has gone down hill.Yes they are there but not as big and as plentiful as they should be.Look at what happend to the Salmon in Sebego lake the Lake trout almost took the lake over. My point is lets not think about putting Splake in sebec .Lets keep Sebec the way the Indians found it. RS.

Hi Gil, I agree with your opinion about the fight and taste. I just think the Browns are a beautiful fish. All the different species make fishing the great sport it is. Have a good one. The Dover Dozen - GS

: Tuesday July 17, 2007

Hi, GS. Having caught both, I can tell you that in my opinion, the splake fights harder and tastes better. Different opinions are what makes the world go 'round, eh? :-)

Hi. If you were camping on Sebec Lake between 1960 and 1972 and remember the "Cloutier's" just drop on in to say hi. I have been keeping my mom dad abreast of all the news and dad just loves the webcam pictures. We rented a cottage from Esther Adams for two weeks every summer and it was to the left of the Gammons, a brick red cottage. There were catfish there then and it sounds as though they are still around. Happy Catfish and Hornpout fishing to all you fishermen:) My favorite is a landlocked salmon despite the bones. And as far as a "Splake" I haven't a clue... (Catfish author)

: Thursday July 12, 2007
: 10:48 AM

I was checking to see if I could find records of splake stocking in Sebec. That was when I discovered my mistake. A splake is cross between a SPeckled trout and a LAKE trout. I'm getting old and my memory is failing me ;)

Anyway here is a link to all you may care to know about splake:

http://www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing/fishidentification/splake.htm

BTW, as far as I could tell by stocking records, splake have not been stocked in Sebec Lake.

Back in the 1960's when the limit on salmon & trout was 15 fish or 7 1/2 lbs a day (i.e. the good ol' days)it wasn't all that uncommon to catch a nice brook trout while trolling for salmon with spinners and night crawlers in the narrows. I haven't caught one in Sebec for years. I'd love to see a Splake population introduced as they are a lot of fun to catch. I think they put up as much or more fight than a brookie and they are just as tasty. -gil-

Yes, a hornpout is one of the many species of catfish. It is on the small end of the size scale for catfish and is common in the eastern US.

Dace is a family of fish. the longnose dace is sometimes refered to as a sucker. Most of the other dace species have 'normal' heads/mouths.

: Thursday July 12, 2007

so . . . a hornpout is a catfish?

What is a dace or sucker as we sometimes call them?

: Thursday July 12, 2007
: 07:28 AM

I worked a summer co-op with the ME Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. I remember that splake (a cross between a salmon and a lake trout) were originally bred and introduced to certain bodies of water as a sport fish. The problem is that fishermen over the years have (illegally) introduced species of fish into their favorite lakes and streams which can really upset the balance of things. For example the bass family of fish are much more aggressive 'hunters' than the salmonids (salmon and trout) and can slowly drive the salmonids out by beating them to the food. Luckily the deep water helps maintain the balance in lakes like Sebec. So, even if splake were never originally found in Sebec, they could be there now. As to the catfish/hornpout, I remember catching one near the shore when I was a young boy. I remember it as HUGE. But, as we all know, everything seems big through a childs eyes. So they are in Sebec - and so are eels! -Northshore Exile

RE: the Bullhead,Catfish or Hornpout fish question... last year caught a small one in Buck's Cove... this year caught one in Chicken Cove. Didn't think there were any in the lake...

Second Loon Update:

I just got back from fishing in Bucks cove and the loon there is still on the nest on House Island BUT, as I returned to my dock this AM our loon has just had 2 chicks! Mom and dad are teaching them how to swim and get on their backs out front as I type. I hear their calls to each other this quiet morning.

Loon report UPDATE & ice cave info:

Bucks cove loon was off the nest - havn't spotted chicks

Loon at packards still on the nest - husband is getting noisy and anxious - is this a second nesting? how long does it take.

Ice cave trail head is just past MacGreggor camp on the 1st bend in the private road that runs past the hotel twords the castle. Stop and ask permission for right of way, where to land your boat, and inform of your hiking intentions at the 1st house on the left on RT150 at 995 Sebec Lake road. Any one at Packard's Landing should be able to point you in the right direction.

Bring us back some ice for our cocktails,

SALMON: 2-3 colors/copper mooselook!

that is all . . .

Hello I was on Sebec Lake Thursday July 5 at around 8:00 PM and got your brother to take a picture of me as I was talking to him. I wonder if you could e-mail a copy of that picture to me? The Web Cam provides a welcome brake from an otherwise busy day in Wilmington DE. Thanks and keep the Cam going.

I would like to buy a cottage on Sebec Lake, but I would need to catch a very large fish in order to do so:)

On another note, would someone be able to give me a price on renting a cottage on Sebec Lake for a weekend and also the price for a week, for this time of year? I might like to give my folks a little vacation and bring back some memories for them, having spent time there over the years.
