There is plenty of fishing opportunity in October!

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. 

It's a great opportunity to enjoy the fall foliage views, lack of mosquitoes, catch a colorful brook trout, and get more time on the water. To find a place near you to fish, check out the October Fishing Report [ [link removed] ].

*In this month's report, you'll find:*


* Rainbow trout fishing opportunity in southern Maine
* Tips for fishing Grand Lake Stream for landlocked salmon
* Fly fishing tips for the Rangeley Lakes Region
* Cast and blast opportunities in the Penobscot Region
* Rivers and stocked ponds in Aroostook County

You can find additional waters with fall fishing opportunity by visiting the Special Fishing Laws page of the MDIFW website [ [link removed] ]. 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.
