Pontook Dam in Dummer. (BILL THOMPSON PHOTO)

I had been thinking about getting up to the Androscoggin River all summer. Not long ago, I decided to make a quick trip to Pontook Dam for the afternoon.

In the days when I owned the shop, Janet and I would close the shop at 4 p.m. on Sunday and head up to Pontook. Our first stop would be at Ursula’s Snack Stand for a quick super and then head to the dam and fish until dark.
