Maine - Moosehead Lake
Mayfly and caddis hatches peak in June, and the dry-fly action in the Moosehead Lake region can be outstanding. Backcountry trout ponds in the surrounding area hold big, wild brookies, and rivers such as the West Branch of the Penobscot provide world-class landlocked salmon fishing. This is also the height of blackfly season, so bring your fly repellent and appropriate clothing. Greenville at Moosehead's southern tip is the gateway to the region.

Guide's Tips
Species: Trout
Guide: Maine Guide Fly Shop; maineguideflyshop.com; 207-695-2266
Rig Specifics: A 6-weight, 9-foot fly rod with a 2X or 3X tippet. A size 8 green drake imitation can be deadly in June, but keep your eyes open for other insect hatches as well.
Quick Tip: Fish very early and very late in the day. The weeks before and after the 4th of July can be extremely productive.
Where to Fish: Look for a muddy bottom.
