Fishing in Maine

Maine's wilderness lakes and remote rivers provide some of the East Coast's best fishing. Moosehead Lake holds wild brook trout and lake trout. The Penobscot and Kennebec rivers see Atlantic salmon and landlocked salmon runs. Offshore, tuna, striped bass, and groundfish are abundant. Maine brook trout fishing in remote ponds is a bucket-list experience.
