		<description><![CDATA[Providing public access to Maine&#8217;s lakes and ponds is one of the Department&#8217;s highest priorities. Securing access is a difficult and time consuming task, however, so when we succeed it&#8217;s always worth mentioning. Here in western Maine, we&#8217;ve just completed the development of one site and have several others in various stages of development. A [...]]]></description>

This regulation change applies to the lake only, not the tributaries, and results from action taken by the Advisory Council in response to a citizen petition. For that reason, the change is not listed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last two weeks of September provide some of the best fishing of the year. Temperatures are cool, there are few biting bugs to contend with, and the scenery is increasingly spectacular. But, best of all, salmon and trout respond to the cooler temperatures with increased activity in preparation for their spawning runs. They frequently [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of this agency&#8217;s primary missions is to secure public access to Maine&#8217;s lakes, rivers, and streams. As regional biologists, we&#8217;re responsible for maintaining a list of access priorities, assuring that the list is continually updated, and assisting with locating and designing appropriate sites.

		<description><![CDATA[Stream flows in the Rangeley region are finally beginning to look normal. Late-afternoon thunderstorms seemed like a daily occurrence through much of June, and this kept flows in our major rivers unusually high. On the positive side, the high flows were generally coupled with cooler than average temperatures, so the fishing held up well in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Rangeley chain of lakes in Western Maine is a land of salmon and brook trout. The brook trout are native; the salmon (and the smelt they feed on) were introduced over a hundred years ago.

		<description><![CDATA[Western Maine received 12 to 16 inches of new snow from last week&#8217;s double-whammy of storms. Access to many of the region&#8217;s lakes became tougher as a result of the bad weather. Several parking areas are simply not being plowed any longer and travel on the ice is through deep snow. No major slush yet, [...]]]></description>
