It's always fishing season in Maine

No matter if you are in southern Maine or all the way up in "the County" there are waters open to fishing this time of year. The November fishing report is filled with suggested places to go, tips, and more. Fisheries biologists remind anglers that the water is cold. Please use caution, wear a personal flotation device, and fish like you do early spring... nice and slow. You may just find yourself a new favorite fishing spot, and you'll likely have it all to yourself. 

Keep in mind that 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. 

In addition to the monthly fishing report, you can find 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.
