Emerson Family Fishing on
Parmachenee Lake - 2007
By Kevin Emerson
Kevin Emerson has been
kind enough over the last couple of years to send along
to me pictures and brief recaps of his annual family
fishing trips to his father's fishing lodge on
Parmachenee Lake in Maine.
Over the weekend, Kevin sent me this year's pictures and
story to go along with them. I would like to share those
with readers.

Here are some pictures from our annual trip to
Parmachenee Lake, Maine.
This year we spent ten days at my Dad's lodge located on
Parmachenee Lake in Oxford County. This year's trek was
full of first for our family.
We had two family members making their first trips to
Maine. Our son-in-law James made his first trip to camp
memorable by landing a beautiful 15 1/2" brook trout in
his final hour of fishing before heading home.
Our son Tim was married in March and his new bride,
Brittany made her maiden voyage to camp. Brittany caught
a nice 14 1/2" salmon on her first night of fishing in
Maine.
Tim also landed a beautiful 18" landlocked salmon.
Our little girl Lacey (3) also caught her very first
brook trout which she named Timmy Trout. We ate "Timmy"
for breakfast the following morning with Lacey taking
the final bite. Lacey
named every fish we didn't catch and release. She came
up with Sammy Salmon, Samantha
Salmon, Terri Trout, Tubby Trout to name just a few...
She also enjoyed seeing many moose.
I managed to catch the biggest fish again this year, an
18 1/2" salmon, but the biggest fish was the one I
didn't get in the boat. It was a huge salmon, about 25"
long that I hooked the last night of fishing. I got him
up to the boat and could see the fly was precariously
resting at the edge of his mouth. I managed to get the
net under him and just as I started to lift it into the
net he flopped out leaving only the fly tangled up in
the net. Oh well, hopefully I'll get another chance next
year.
