MAINE FISHING ADVENTURE

Maine is a world-class destination for fishing. Maine cannot be beat for variety and quality of fresh and saltwater fish. The Kennebec River drains from Moosehead lake and runs south through the central part of the state, past Bath, before meeting the ocean at Popham Beach. Brown trout running up to 20 inches are favorite catches along the river's midsection(around Augusta). The spot for fly casters is at the river's East Outlet where landlocked salmon, the freshwater form of the sea-run atlantic salmon, are on the move to spawn. May through July, and September are the best times to fish the river.. The section from Popham Beach to Bath, is a must-visit for striped bass fans. And from Cape Elizabeth to Harpswell the stripers, bluefish and mackerel are best bets. Plenty of charter operations are available in these areas.
