Species You'll Want to Hook

Brook Trout: These beauties are a Maine staple and a real treat to catch. Known locally as "brookies," they're fighters pound for pound. They love cold, clean water and you'll often find them in the faster-moving sections of the river. Spring and fall are prime times for brook trout, when the water's cool and they're most active. Anglers love 'em for their stunning colors and the challenge they present - they can be pretty picky eaters!

Smallmouth Bass: Don't let the name fool you, these fish pack a punch! Smallmouth bass in Maine can grow to impressive sizes, and they're known for their acrobatic fights. They thrive in both rivers and lakes, so we've got plenty of hotspots to target them. Summer is usually the best time to go after smallies, when the water's warmed up and they're aggressively feeding. Folks love catching these guys because they'll hit just about anything and put up one heck of a fight.

Rainbow Trout: These guys are the showstoppers of the trout world. With their distinctive pink stripe and speckled bodies, they're a sight to behold. Rainbows in Maine can grow to some impressive sizes, especially in the bigger rivers. They're known for their acrobatic leaps and runs when hooked, making them a favorite among fly fishermen. Spring and fall are typically the best seasons for rainbows, but with our local knowledge, we can find them year-round. Anglers love the challenge and the reward of landing one of these gorgeous fish.

Learn more about the species

Brook Trout

Rainbow trout are a blast to catch here in Maine. These beauties usually run 12-20 inches and put up a great fight. You'll find them in our cold, clear rivers and streams, especially around rocky areas with fast currents. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but we can hook 'em year-round. Anglers love rainbows for their acrobatic jumps and the challenge they present. Their pink meat is delicious too. For the best chance at landing one, try drifting a nymph under an indicator through deeper pools. Early mornings or late evenings are often most productive. Just remember, these fish are smart - use light line and present your fly naturally. Nothing beats the thrill of a rainbow exploding out of the water when it takes your fly!

Rainbow Trout

Brook trout are the jewels of Maine's cold, clean waters. These native beauties usually run 8-12 inches, with some topping 20 inches in remote ponds. You'll find them in small streams, spring-fed ponds, and cold river pockets. They're most active in spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler. Anglers prize 'brookies' for their stunning colors and delicate taste. They can be finicky, but that's part of the fun. For best results, try a small dry fly or nymph in faster riffles or near undercut banks. Early mornings often produce well. Here's a local tip: after a light rain, focus on spots where small tributaries enter the main stream. Brookies often gather there to feed on washed-in insects. Just tread lightly - these fish spook easily in clear water!

Smallmouth Bass

Smallmouth bass are a favorite target in Maine's rivers and lakes. These scrappy fish typically range from 1-4 pounds, though bigger ones aren't uncommon. Look for them around rocky structure, fallen trees, and deep holes. They love warm water, so summer's the best time to chase them. Smallies are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful fights - they'll really test your gear. Anglers enjoy the challenge and the tasty fillets. To up your odds, try working a soft plastic worm slowly along the bottom near cover. When the water's warm, topwater lures can produce some exciting blow-ups. Just remember to match your lure size to the forage - smaller is often better in our waters. There's nothing like feeling that tell-tale 'thump' when a chunky smallmouth inhales your bait!
