I saw the spot you almost went sledding down.
I too took the skunk. Spent about 2 hours in there and didnt bump a fish, it really blows when the wind picks up through there too. I fished just below the Acad as well and found the same smelly animal.
You are right about the scenery too, lots of great looking water, snowy hillsides, and signs of deer everywhere. You guys even stepped in some ;D
