Canada Fishing Info

This is the time of year to be fly-fishing the mountain rivers and streams of Maine, where big landlocked salmon and brook trout are making their runs upriver to spawn later in the fall. West Branch, Penobscot River west of Millinocket and the East Outlet of the Kennebec River at Moosehead Lake in Central Maine, Grand Lake Stream Downeast in Washington County and Kennebago and Magalloway rivers in Western Maine â” all conjure up legends of fighting fish in the swift currents of mountain rivers. The free-flowing streams of Maine have been dangerously low because of a drought, but in our third day at Bosebuck, an all-night, all-day rain dumped a lot of water into the brooks and rivers and the migrant salmon and brook trout responded. The all-day rain last Saturday with its attendant plummeting temperatures served notice that in such weather, the wading fisherman, standing in cold water and getting hit with cold winds and rain, cannot dress warmly enough. The dam, which separates Mooselookmeguntic Lake and Upper Richardson Lake, once contained fantastic numbers of baitfish and salmon and brook trout.
