Bill Bell of Saco, who last week took a video of a cow moose and its calf crossing Nesowadnehunk Stream in Baxter State Park on his way home, returned with a tale of some amazing fish activity at a pond where he and his cousin, Neil Fitch, were fishing. Bell said the surprising absence of black flies and mosquitoes was notable, welcome and beneficial. But then, Bell said, it’s almost impossible not to enjoy a trip to the park. “The fishing was great, because there were no bugs and there had been no bugs all week,” Bell said. “The fish were ravenous and would strike at anything that looked like it might be food.”
