Maine - Kennebec River
Twenty years of cleaner water and the removal of an upstream dam have transformed the lower Kennebec and its adjacent coastline into the latest striper hotspot. The bass are spawning here in increasing numbers. A single-hook artificials-only rule applies until July 1 to protect spawning stocks. This generally keeps the bait soakers off the water until high summer, while leaving lots of room for fly and lure anglers. Kennebec Angler, 877-894-4589; kennebecangler.com
Guide's Tips
Species: Stripers
Guide: Ed Blum; kennebecriverguide.com; 207-458-0230
Rig Specifics: A medium-action spinning rod with 15- to 25-pound test line and floating, 6-inch plugs dressed with white and red bucktail.
Quick Tip: Fish dropoffs on incoming and outgoing tides.
Where to Fish: A great place to start is where the Sebasticook River empties into the Kennebec. You have to use artificials until July 21 in the stretch from Waterville to Augusta.
