Harrington Lake / Frost Pond

[gamefisher]

Has anybody here ever fished these waters?  Always take a spring trip end of May / beginning June and was thinking about seeing some new country.  Not looking for secret spots or techniques just whether or not they are worth going to.  Also, anyone ever stay at Frost Pond Camps or Allagash Gateway on Ripogenus Lake with any feedback on them?  Thank you.

  Used to be some really good fishing until they let the dam go. I have not fished it since. It dropped the water level quite a bit.

If your up there , give chesuncook POND a shot, there's a trial up to it, used to be drivable but grown in. Little pressure and worth the short hike. Check your MAG . Best fished with a float tube or light canoe.

My family and I stayed at Frost pond for a week a few summers ago in early august. The fishing was tough at that time due to the time of the year, but we still were able to catch some nice 9-16 inch brookies. It is beautiful out there and I would expect the fishing to be excellent in late may. I would also check out duck brook which is up the road a little ways. That actually holds salmon and might be a good spot for that time of year. tight lines

Thanks for the input Jason.  You know the big problem with this fishing stuff is so many good spots, so little time!  Those Holbrook and Little Holbrook ponds look interesting also.
