If you live in North Carolina, the State of Maine is a far distance to go fishing, but since I wanted to enjoy the scenic rocky coast as well as the fall 
foliage, it did not seem unreasonable to take a small spinning reel along for the ride. We holed up in the Riverside Motel in Perkins Cove, Me. The view was spectacular. To wet a line and to enjoy the leaves, we drove to the New Hampshire White Mountains via the Androscoggin River. That river was totally devoid of fish prior to 1977 when the Clean Water Act went into effect. Today the river contains large numbers of trout over 12” and some trophy browns as large as 20” to 24”. We decided to see for ourselves, so we fished the Wild River, above its confluence with the Androscoggin Rive and a small portion of the Androscoggin River up to the border of New Hampshire. In a short time we caught 
13 on spinners, and 5 on dry flies, ranging in size from 8” to 12”. We then continued sightseeing by driving over the Kankamagus Highway from Conway to Lincoln NH, where we saw some beautiful views of fall leaves.

Did you have any trouble with wood ticks & did you see or catch any brook trout?
Were the wood ticks a problem? Did you catch any brook trout?
No problems with ticks and we did catch some brookies in the Wild River, but most were Rainbows. Thanks
Hey Jerry,I see they honored your brother with a road sign. That's neat.
