Lee Wulff and River of Ponds

In the late 1980s, Lee Wulff wrote a series of first-hand accounts of his explorations of River of Ponds and nearby areas, published in the Atlantic Salmon Journal.

While he began his Atlantic salmon angling there with steamship journeys, during WW2 he flew in a Grumman Goose, as a guide for 5-star General Hap Arnold. Then after WW2 he purchased a J3 Piper Cub on floats, and eventually built several camps in the area for guests.
