Deer hunting in the mountains of Maine is not easy, but the payoff can be great. Registered Maine Guides are available here at the camps for all types of hunting activities. Fishing When many fisherman throughout the country are hanging up their waders in favor of hunting attire, the fall fisherman in Northern Maine seeks the elusive Salmon on the big waters and rivers they call home. As the days grow shorter and the waters begin to cool, salmon once again become active and can be found near the surface on many of the big lakes. Casting as well as trolling can be successful during September, and should not be overlooked by those seeking one last good run on that old reel.
Water levels begin to drop allowing gravel bars and shoals to become exposed.
Boating can be hazardous to the unfamiliar, but fisherman can avoid most problems by simply traveling slowly and with a good lookout. Streamers and live bait, along with various minnow and smelt pattern lures are the best bet for late season Salmon. And don't be surprised to find occasional Brookie in his brightest spawning colors roaming the shoreline seeking a mate. Both Landlocked Salmon and Brook Trout spawn in the fall, so the season closes on most waters at the end of September. Some waters however, remain open for catch and release through most of October.
