Author's Note
Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg is at the very least a mouthful, a Nipmuc word meaning “Fishing place at the boundaries - neutral meeting grounds”. Luckily for the linguistically impaired, Webster Lake works just as well. The lake has the dubious distinction of being the place with the longest name in the United States and one of the longest in the world. The Massachusetts' lake has a population of warm water fish species including sunfish, bass, pike and trout that anglers may test their skills against. Jim invites influence from Herbert Welch's Kennebago Streamer and Cupsuptic as seen in the peacock herl and floss butt section. The fly has been used to chase both salmon and trout throughout Northern Maine, Massachusetts and into parts of Canada.
