Allagash Wilderness Waterway ice fishers are urged to be cautious this weekend

TURNER PUBLISHING • December 31, 2020

Ice fishermen heading up to the Allagash Winderness Waterway to fish this weekend should stay near the shore. Rangers are reporting open water at the southern end of Chamberlain Lake and thin ice in the middle of the larger headwater lakes; Round Pond has two to three inches of ice and very little ice on Telos Lake; Eagle and Churchill Lakes have about four inches of ice along the shoreline; and Rob Flewelling, the operator of Nugent’s Camps midway along Chamberlain Lake, is reporting ice thickness at four inches in front of the sporting camps.
