Host Willem Lange
Coming up on Windows to the Wild...
In Search of the Blue-Black Trout
Airs: Thursday 5/15/2008 @ 7:30 PM
What is a blueback trout? Join Windows to the Wild host Willem Lange as he searches for the elusive fish, which makes its home near the North Country’s Red River Camps. This 22,000-acre parcel of true wilderness, owned by the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands, is located outside of Portage in northern Maine. It is the perfect place to find the blueback trout, which is native to northwestern Maine in the headwaters of the St. John and Penobscot rivers.

Praise for Windows to the Wild
Dear NHPTV,
I am a firefighter, born and raised and working in Massachusetts, yet longing for the day I can retire to the White Mountain area of New Hampshire. As a child my parents would often take my brother and I on "mini vacations" to various parts of the Granite State...[When I was 23, I returned and went to] the Kancamaugus Highway to a National Forest campground. I have been returning every year since then.
I had a great 20th anniversary of my NH ventures by taking the Notch train from Conway to Crawford Notch. It was exciting to see the places I had heard Willem tell about such...WIllem has inspired me to get back into some hiking, there is so much I want to do in New Hampshire...
-- Mike Sullivan
