Maine in October

Fishing Saltwater Fly Fishing
1

I’m going to be in Southern Maine towards the end of October. Have never fished the salt before and was wondering if anything is happening this time of the year?

Thanks,

Kevin

I’d say you’ll be a bit too late for the salt but what do I know. Might want to bring the 5 wt and look for some of the famous native brook trout of Maine.

Absolutely positively do not miss the opportunity to go to Freeport to the LL Bean Hunting and Fishing Store. Awesome. Don’t forget to hit the outlet at the bottom of the hill as well. They often have some nice rods on clearance.

I think that you are out of luck that time of year for stripers

I am not sure what waters are open that time of year, even for Brookies. There might be some hold over Stripers, susually schoolies in the inlets, but unfortunately it is a little past season.

ice fishing

Sorry but even ice fishing in Maine doesn’t start until January first unless all you want to catch is pickeral

There is way too much joking on this board. I’ve had just about enough of it.

When are people going to limit their posts to serious topics and serious replies?

Sheesh.

I know it was a joke, but when it comes to the state of Maine warden service and fishing there are no jokes. You are more likely to see a warden in the woods up there than you are to see a cop in the city around here.

Every month there is a new rule enacted that isn’t even in the current years rule book that wardens get my pop on with his ATV or Snowmobile without a warning.

I live in Southern Maine. The Stripers will likely be gone by then. Trout fishing is still open in a number of streams. All of it is catch and release in the fall. The Brookies will have their fall mating colors. Truly a beautiful fish. Personally I’d hire a guide and get in on some great sea duck hunting.
