During the fall months there are special fishing regulations in place as some species are spawning and many waters do close to fishing starting October 1, but there are still hundreds of lakes, rivers, streams, and ponds open for fishing.
To find a place near you to fish, check out the October Fishing Report. A few report highlights include:
- Year-round fishing opportunity and exciting salmon fishing in southern Maine
- Catch-of-a-lifetime brown trout fishing in the Belgrade Lakes area, plus bass and rainbow trout opportunity
- Salmon and trout waters in the Grand Lake Stream area that are open through October
- Hike-in fishing trips with exceptional views in the Rangeley Lakes Region
- A list of trout ponds open through November and river fishing opportunity in the Moosehead area - cast and blast anyone?
- Brook trout fishing with Mount Katahdin views in the Penobscot Region
- Late season stocked fisheries in Northern Maine to top off your hunting getaway
You can also visit the Special Fishing Laws page of the MDIFW website. The Fall Fishing column is marked with a "yes" or "no" indicating if a water is open to fishing in the fall, please note waters marked as open to fall fishing may only be open in discrete sections and/or during limited time frames. Please read regulations carefully to ensure you are following them accurately.
