Maine boasts the last major self-sustaining "Wild" Brook Trout populations in the northeastern United States. With countless remote ponds, miles of wilderness streams, and large pristine lakes such as Moosehead, Eagle and Big Nesowadnahunk, there is no place better to catch that trophy "Squaretail"!

In addition, Maine has the finest Landlocked Salmon fishing anywhere in the country. With the West Branch, East Outlet, Rapid, Dead, Kennebec and Roach Rivers, Grand Lake Stream, and Moosehead, Sebago and Chesuncook Lakes, there is nowhere better to go to fish for the "Silver Leaper"!

What is not as well known is that Maine has quietly developed a Brown Trout fishery on the Kennebec and other waters that is unquestionably the finest in the northeast! While currently supported primarily (but not completely) via stocking, these Browns have done phenomenally well in the Kennebec.

Additionally, the Kennebec boasts the finest "Wild" Rainbow trout fishery in all of New England. As such, the state is looking more seriously at rainbows and I fully expect that when (not if!) embraced, they will do every bit as well as the Browns!

Add to this the Lake Trout (Togue) found in our large lakes, the Smallmouth in the lower Kennebec and Penobscot, the Stripers (now reaching Augusta), the Pike in the Belgrades, the Muskies (Baker Lake), and the rare "Blueback" trout found in a handful of ponds up north, and you have a fisherman's paradise!
