Swimmer, it's highly unlikely the Maine house will happen again. As we all know Paul isn't getting any younger (I think he's 84 now) and with Louie's death it doesn't look like someone else will take over. Me, my father, brother and a few other "full share" members won't be staying there going forward for a multitude of reasons so unless Paul can get at least 8 new guys to go full share ($350) it won't be happening. It's too bad because that place had become an institution and was the reason I was able to fish the Derby starting in '94. My group is renting a cabin at the campground for 3 nights this year as we didn't go last year and can't imagine another year without being there. We looked into a Chappy rental too but can't justify renting a house for a week and only using it for 3-4 days. Good luck on your search. If you want, PM me as I found what appears to be a great house on Litchfield Rd for $1000/week and it sleeps 5.
