PISCATAQUIS OBSERVER • April 28, 2023
Jerry Packard, a longtime guide in the Sebec Lake region and the fourth generation operator of Packard’s Camps, was recently presented with the Wiggie Robinson Legendary Maine Guide Award by Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Deputy Commissioner Tim Peabody at the Maine Professional Guides Association annual banquet in Brewer. Packard was a conservationist long before the term was ever utilized. He recognized the importance of protecting and preserving the Maine outdoors. He always allowed water access to Sebec Lake on a ramp that was owned by Packard’s Camps. He later sold the access site to the state so there would always be access at the western end of Sebec Lake.
