Responding To The Lure of Fishing

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper

“The angler forgets most of the fish he catches, but he does not forget the streams and lakes in which they are caught.”

— Charles K. Fox Many people discover a love of fishing when they are teens or adults but for Carol Dale, an avid fisherwoman from Gilford, a love of fishing came early in life.

“I’ve been fishing since I was twoyears-old, at Merrymeeting Lake in New Durham. Family lore says that my Dad put a kibbee [sunfish] in a bucket, and I caught it on a kid’s fishing rod.”

That may seem like a simplistic introduction to fishing, but it was memorable for Carol. Spend more than a few minutes with her and the topic of fishing is sure to come up.

Carol and her friends and family members are avid fishermen and -women; Carol knows many of the lakes and ponds in the Lakes Region and she goes out kayaking/fishing each and every year, once warmer weather rolls around.

Her advice for those interested in fishing is valuable before heading out to try the sport: “A beginner fisherman needs a decent fishing rod, some lures of different types, a few sizes of trout hooks, needlenose pliers, a bucket, and bait that is suitable for the fish he/ she is trying to catch. Also have insect

Carol is very safety-conscious and adds, “If you are fishing from a boat, you must have and wear a life vest. No excuses!”

One assumption that many have about fishermen is that many of them have a secret, favorite fishing spot

where the fish are biting and the catch is good. Is that true?

Carol laughs, “Yes, it’s true that people who love to fish have favorite spots and keep those spots secret.

My favorite ponds/lakes have special names so that no one knows where I am talking about. I certainly do have favorite fishing spots, depending on what I am fishing for.”

People vacation in the Lakes Region

for many reasons, from boating to swimming and hiking to just kicking back amd relaxing in a beautiful location. Carol spends her vacations fishing, a sport that offers a chance to be out in the natural world, to relax and to indulge in her form of boating, known as kayaking.

“I do build my vacations around fishing. My sister and my male fishing partner have done this for years. There’s a cottage on Manning Lake that my buddy and I have rented multiple times over the years. A good year means that we rent for two or three weeks, but we space out the weeks in order to have something great to look forward to.”

This would sound like fishing heaven to those who are hooked on fishing. So what is it about the sport that drives Carol to plan her beloved vacations days around fishing?

“We spend almost every waking minute outdoors. It’s wonderful. So, our vacations are simple and not far from home. It’s a win-win for us!”

Carol explains.

Non-fishermen would be surprised to learn that Carol and her buddies do not eat the fish they catch. It is rather for the sport of it, and Carol explains, “We stay out on the water ’til near dark, fishing for largemouth and smallmouth

Yesteryear New Hampshire’s Intrepid Chinooks

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper If you are headed to wild, dangerous, and remote country, you need to pack necessary supplies, and it would help to bring along a traveling companion.

That companion should be able travel long distances on foot, pull their own weight, and enjoy the cold and the outdoors. It also helps if the companion has a sunny, let’s-go-get’em personality.

This description fits a Chinook dog perfectly. The Chinook is New

Hampshire’s official state dog and, given the history of the hearty breed, it is easy to see why the dog has been elevated to such status.

The Chinook dog may have started in New Hampshire but the breed made its debut onto the international stage on a trip led by Admiral Byrd o to the Antarctic. The original Chinook dog accompanied expedition member Arthur Walden of Wonalancet.

Arthur’s life could have been taken from the pages of an adventure

book; his story included skill, daring, physical fitness, bravery, and the desire to conquer the outdoors.

Born in the midwest in 1871, Arthur was the son of a well-known Episcopal preacher. Clearly, the ministry wasn’t the career path for young Arthur and historical information says he eventually made his way to the Klondike Gold Rush.

The Klondike event happened in the late 1890s and took northwestern Canada’s Klondike region by storm.

The appeal of gold meant thousands flocked to the area to try their luck and perhaps become wealthy. It was, however, not an easy place to reach and it meant using sled dogs and roughing it to reach the Klondike.

The Klondike adventure most likely prepared Walden for living off the land and learning how to survive in snow, cold, and dangerous outdoor conditions. It surely introduced him to a lifelong respect for teams of dogs that were able to help him survive extreme outdoor conditions.

After the Gold Rush, Walden married Kate Sleeper. Kate was an amazing woman and she must have been perfect for Arthur. An article entitled “The Life of Kate Sleeper” at www.vftt.org states that Kate was “small, blonde, had deep blue eyes, had a high-pitched voice.

She was also attractive, sociable,

sincere, determined, and possessed a rare quality of inspiring others to want what she wanted.”

Kate was a lover of the outdoors and must have been highly independent.

(Her ability to purchase the Wonalancet Farm at a young age and to run it as an inn for a time before converting it to a private property speaks to her courage and determination in an era when most females her age were attending tea parties and shopping for eligible husbands.) She also was the first postmaster in Wonalancet when a post office came to town in the 1890s.

Kate was the daughter of a wealthy Boston newspaperman. She hired Arthur as a farm manager at some point before he left for the Klondike Gold Rush and, after his return, he married Kate on the Wonalancet Farm in 1902.

Wonalancet Farm, with more than 1,000 acres, gave the couple everything they needed: privacy to enjoy the outdoors and the space for Walden to begin breeding and training sled dogs.

According to the Cow Hampshire Blog (www.cowhampshire.com), it was on the farm that Arthur bred a mastiff dog with a descendant of one of Admiral Peary’s Husky lead dogs.

That was the beginning of the famed Chinook dogs, around 1917. (Arthur

New Hampshire's Chinook dog. (Putnam Photo)

• Yesteryear Continued from page 4 named his favorite pup from the litter Rikki, and later renamed the dog Chinook.)

Arthur’s aim was to create a breed of dog that would be very strong, have the ability to move with speed, and be friendly to all. Chinook, his favorite of the original litter, grew up to be about 100 pounds and was a savvy, strong lead dog. Arthur bred Chinook to German Shepherds and various other female dogs in an effort to produce a dog that had the qualities he was looking for.

Arthur introduced the dog to the public at the 1920 Gorham Winter Carnival. The public must have been entranced by the large, friendly, and intelligent Chinook that seemed able to do it all, from racing and hauling goods to playing with children and lounging by the fireplace after romping in the snow all day.

Sled dog travels were in Arthur’s blood, along with a canny ability for self-promotion. Not one to be content with former adventures, Arthur was the first to reach the summit of Mount Washington with a team of dogs in 1926. The weather was terrible, but probably nothing new to the man who had risked life and limb in the remote Klondike. The dog team also was accustomed to harsh weather and likely reveled at the chance to take on the most weather-intense mountain in the eastern United States. Arthur likely made sure the press knew of his accomplishment.

Sled dog racing was not well-known at the time but Arthur changed that when he created the New England Sled Dog Club in 1924. It raised awareness of the sport which was perfect for a snowy state such as New Hampshire.

Not long after, Arthur joined Admiral

When the Stella-Marion Plied the Waters of Newfound Lake

By Thomas P. Caldwell A new venture that coincided with the turn of the 20th century would give Newfound Lake one of its most intriguing stories and one that still sparks interest today. Prompted by Edward S. Wilson’s desire to create a summer camp at Owl’s Head in Hebron, Joe Adams enlisted his brother, Ambrose, to build a steam freighter for transport on the lake, and the Stella-Marion was launched three years later, in early May of the year 1900.

After operating for 15 years, the Stella-Marion burned at its mooring in Pasquaney Bay on Aug. 27, 1915, an incident that no one could account for. Whether it was arson or an unlucky chance, the freighter sank to the bottom of the bay and lay forgotten in 35 feet of water until the 1970s when a diving instructor and his students found the wreck.

Interest was renewed in 1984 when a team of student divers led by Dr. David Switzer, a history professor at Plymouth State College, conducted a formal search. Their efforts resulted in the recovery of several artifacts from the wreck and widespread media coverage of the effort. A lack of funds prevented Dr. Switzer from realizing his ultimate goal of bringing up the original engine and placing it in a replica of the StellaMarion, and the freighter remains under water today.

Newspaper and personal accounts indicate that the Stella-Marion was conceived as a means of transporting

people to Owl’s Head, which was accessible only by boat in those days, so Edward Wilson, founder of Camp Pasquaney, could develop another camp at that location. He contacted Joe Adams, whose family members, coming from Gaspe Bay, Canada, near the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, were boat enthusiasts, to see whether it would be wiser to build a new boat or purchase a second-hand one.

Adams had built several 12- and 15foot rowboats and occasionally helped a boat-builder on Lake Winnipesaukee, as well as working for the Laconia Car Company, building passenger and freight railroad cars. His brother, Ambrose, did business with fishermen on Newfound Lake and, together, they agreed it was time for a power boat on the Lake, and that they were the ones to do it. They modified boat plans to create a 50-foot craft with a fantail stern, a three-quarter cabin enclosure, and more seating. Their older brother,

Nicholas, found a “deformed” oak tree to serve as a stempost and much of the oak logs for the hull came from Ambrose’s property.

The finished boat, costing $1,250, measured 49.5 feet in length and was 10-feet-wide. An article in the Bristol Enterprise described it as being “built of the heart of oak, planked with 2-inch strips, 1 inch thick”. Six yoke of oxen hauled the boat from the shop to the lake and the Stella-Marion was christened, named after Ambrose’s two daughters.

“This is one of the largest and best steamers ever seen on these waters,” the Bristol Enterprise reported. “It accommodates about fifty passengers and has been inspected by the United States government.”

The newspaper carried a subsequent report, on May 31, 1900: “While Ambrose Adams was out on trial trip with ‘Stella-Marion’ the first of the week he pulled in a six pound trout.”

The new freighter proved to be popular with the Pasquaney campers who were grateful not to have to try and carry supplies in row boats. Fishing parties also were popular in the early days of operation, and there were evening moonlight runs. In 1902, they added a barge capable of carrying 100 passengers, and the Bristol Band would play from the barge on special occasions.

There were other practical uses for the steamer, and the Stella-Marion hauled cord wood, pulpwood, and sawed lumber to Bristol’s mills. After the long winters, the Stella-Marion would haul log booms — rafts of logs chained together — from the mouth of the Cockermouth River to source of the Newfound River. The largest log boom recorded covered four acres of lake surface with 1,100,000 board feet.

It was a long and dangerous journey for the steamer and its crew, as winds could shift the load so the freighter was surrounded by logs.

In 1906, the Stella-Marion began a mail route, collecting $4 for a round trip. The mailboxes were attached to docks or floats.

Seeking more power and speed, the Adamses installed a new, twin-cylinder engine in 1911, and later added coalburning grates for greater efficiency in loading fuel: The coal came in sacks and was easier to move and store.

The coming of the automobile, and the improved roads that they required,

• Stella Marion Continued from page 6 reduced the demand for lake transportation and Ambrose saw the end in sight for steamboats. He sold the Stella-Marion to Lawrence Blake of Bristol in 1912. Three years later, the freighter burned and sank.

Although the wreck was under just 35 feet of water on the “cleanest lake east of the Mississippi”, no one knew of its exact location until Bruce Porter and his diving students came upon it in the 1970s. When Dr. Switzer sought the wreck in 1984, he was unable to locate it until he made contact with Porter for more specific information.

Plymouth State offered two archaeological field trips to document the steamer’s remains. Switzer taught the

students the techniques of taking measurements, triangulation, drawing and recording structure, and controlled excavation with a water dredge. Students recovered part of the steering mechanism, parts of a searchlight, brass hinges, and glass.

As for the work that the Stella-Marion provided before it burned? There still was enough of a demand that Ambrose Adams and Lawrence Blake built Stella-Marion II in 1916, with a four-cylinder, four-cycle engine to propel her. The new steamer remained on Newfound Lake until 1921 when Tom Mooney of Center Harbor purchased the boat. It eventually went to Weirs Beach where buyer Vincent Callahan renamed it The Paugus. At last report, The Paugus was still operating in Canada.

Gallery Features Paintings

By Gay Freeborn The Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery of Center Sandwich is featuring an exhibition, “In the Company of Dogs”, oil paintings by Maine artist Gay Freeborn.

An opening reception is scheduled Saturday, Sept.

13, from 5 to 7 p.m.

Gay’s paintings convey the emotion, shape, and appreciation she has for animals.

The use of underpaintings, thinning media, and thick over-painting allows her to use the canvas to sculpt her subjects in an unconventional form.

Born in Palo Alto CA, Gay has been a Maine resident for more than 35 years. Gaining inspiration from her surroundings, she uses the canvas as her medium to portray the likenesses

of animals she loves. Having grown up with Labrador Retrievers, Gay’s subject matter has remained constant throughout her life, reminding us of the special bond we form with our animals.

Gay attended Moore College of Arts in Pennsylvania and has taken classes at community colleges. Her work has appeared in numerous galleries throughout New England.

Gallery hours at the Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery, located at 69 Maple Street (Route 113) in Center Sandwich, are Thursdays through Mondays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The gallery is open Tuesdays and Wednesdays by appointment; call 603284-7728. For more information, see www.patricialaddcarega.com.

September 8, 2014 lead sled dog driver and trainer.

Before the Byrd trip, the dogs were brought to Wonalancet Farm where the Waldens trained the canines. It was a perfect place for the rigorous training, given New Hampshire’s cold and snowy winters.

Arthur brought Chinook, his constant companion, on the trek and, with the dog and his team, he moved more than 3,000 pounds of supplies for Byrd.

Sadly, the aging Chinook wandered

• Yesteryear Continued from page 5 Richard E. Byrd’s Antarctic expedition.

Treks to the remote Antarctic were the stuff of romantic adventure and the newspapers were full of accounts of the daring explorers and their faithful sled dogs. Although by this time Arthur was in his late 50s, he was in much better physical condition than most people his age and he was named expedition

away from the group and was lost to Arthur. Understandably, Arthur took the loss of his friend very hard, as did the larger world. Newspapers had reported on the gentle giant of a dog and Chinook was a sort of mascot to the expedition. Word of the dog’s passing spread through newspapers around the world.

In Wonalancet, the townspeople also were saddened by the loss of Chinook and asked the Waldens for permission to rename a road between Tamworth and Wonalancet “Walden Road”.

Arthur suggested instead that the road be named the Chinook Trail and that is the name the road carries today.

Although things would never be quite the same without their beloved Chinook, the Waldens were looking ahead. There is no doubt that they loved the remoteness of Wonalancet but they were a worldly couple. Thus, Kate and

Arthur worked to bring electricity to the area, as well as a hydroelectric dam and telephone service. Soon, the area was connected to the outside world.

Times were difficult during the Depression years, and the Waldens felt the financial pinch along with everyone. In the early 1930s, Arthur sold his remaining dogs and decided to retire from dog training.

A tragic end to the Waldens’ love story came in March 1947 when the still physically strong Arthur rescued Kate from a house fire. Kate survived; Arthur, however, did not.

Over the years, others continued to raise and sell Chinooks and, while the breed dwindled, it did not completely die out. Chinooks made a resurgence in popularity in recent years; thus, the naming in 2009 of the Chinook breed as New Hampshire’s official state dog breed.

Paddle On White Oak Pond The Lakes Region Conservation Trust, in partnership with the Squam Lakes Association, will present a guided paddling trip to explore White Oak Pond in Holderness on Tuesday, Sept. 9, beginning at 8 a.m.

The LRCT owns property with 1,300 feet of shoreline on the pond and it holds conservation easements on two small islands — Frank’s and Bayberry (also known as Pine) — totaling approximately nine acres, with nearly a mile of shoreline. The woodlands and wetlands on the pond’s shorelines and islands provide habitat for such species

as beaver, mink, great blue heron, and loon.

The free paddle should end at approximately 11 a.m.

Pre-registration is required, as the trip will be limited to 20 participants.

To register, email lrct@lrct.org or call 603-253-3301. The Squam Lakes Association will offer boat rentals for a fee to participants who do not have access to their own boat.

To learn more about the Lakes Region Conservation Trust, see www.lrct.org; for information on the Squam Lakes Association, see www.squamlakes.org.

Enjoy Big Lake Adventure With NH Boat Museum The NH Boat Museum is offering its first Big Lake Adventure on Friday, Sept. 12, as a fundraiser that builds upon the popularity of the Boathouse Tour.

Starting at 9:30 a.m. on 12th, participants will go on a “mystery tour” of Lake Winnipesaukee aboard vintage wooden boats, visiting some hidden, out-of-the way spots on the Big Lake. The adventure promises some breathtaking scenery during

the boat ride.

At noon, the boats will dock at a private, island-based yacht club where participants will dine on a gourmet lunch made with locally sourced foods as well as a choice of wine or soft drink. After lunch, the group will explore more of Lake Winnipesaukee until 3:30 p.m.

To make a reservation, visit www. nhbm.org or call 603-569-4554.

We bet you can’t find better or less expensive inside winter storage.
