Description

    Contents
  • 2 Dragging with Lester Orcutt “You have to be an optimist to be a fisherman,” Lester Orcutt told us as he took us out for two days of dragging on the Minkette and later spent an afternoon explaining in detail how it’s done.
  • 22 Fiddleheading Monty Washburn takes Salt on a fiddlehead hunting expedition near his camp in Andover, Maine.
  • 28 Bait Bags The agile fingers of Ada Foss have knit hundreds of bait bags during her life as a lighthouse keeper’s wife. She shows us how it’s done in her home in Cape Porpoise.
  • 37 How to Make a Duck Blind We build a duck blind on the Mousam River and explain how to do it, step by step.
  • 40 Willie and Elizabeth It was a different kind of life Willie and Elizabeth Ames lived in their years on Matinicus Island. Their story is one of generations of lobstermen like “good old grandfather, still lobstering when he was 80 years old, still hale and hearty.”
  • 68 Whistle Making We learn how to make wooden whistles while we visit Monty Washburn of Kittery Point at his hunting camp.
