Maine has the most intact Brook Trout fishery in New England, so if you would like a vacation with Brown trout fishing, Maine is the major U.S. destination. Fly fishing for Maine Brook Trout is enhanced by regulated fly fishing only waters. Native, or wild brook trout, can be fished for as well as stocked brook trout. Brook trout are often found near riffles and undercut banks or boulders. Brook trout require cold, well oxygenated water that is mostly clear. Brook trout feed on nymphs, flies, pupae, and larvae of aquatic insects, as well as baitfish that are found in Maine waters. If you can imitate the insects, then you are on your way to knowing how to catch Maine Brookies. Brooktrout waters in Maine have hatches of aquatic insects, which, when anticipated by the angler, result in fishing found nowhere else in the U.S. Being prepared means having the right mayfly, stonefly, cadisfly, or other fly unique to Maine. The best Maine trout flies can be found on the Trout and Salmon fly page, and purchased through Ebay at a good price.
