The camp was situated on the shores of Kennebago Lake and catered to wealthy professionals and sportsmen. The York's Kennebago was created to mimic the chub and dace baitfish species found in the lakes around the camp. While over his career, he created a number of flies including the Lady Ghost, Governor Brann and the Dusty Streamer, he himself favored York's Kennebago along with the Lady Ghost over the others.
