Rangeley was a small but thriving farming community with a sideline trade in lumber…yet there was a spot at the confluence of the Rangeley and Kennebago Rivers, called Indian Rock, where Brook Trout weighing in excess of eight pounds could be caught. Sport fishermen from Providence, Rhode Island and New York City discovered this spot in the early 1840s, but it wasn’t until the 1860s that Rangeley’s reputation as a fisherman’s paradise really took hold.
