Mere With its innumerable lakes, ponds, rivers and streams, Maine enjoys a reputation as an angler’s paradise. Here is a selection of choice fishing spots for freshwater species. An indispensable resource for any outdoor activity in Maine is the Delorme Maine Atlas and Gazetteer, available in fly shops, outdoor outfitters, many food markets and, of course, online. The back cover shows the entire map of Maine blocked off into map sections. Each section is further detailed into XY grids on the map pages. The locales Brook Trout described below include a reference to the appropriate Delorme map. Little River Location: Lebanon, North Berwick, Berwick Species: Brown trout and Brook trout. Map 2, D2-E2: This is a wonderful free-stone river with plenty of access, starting in Lebanon, along the aptly named Little River Road. Like many rivers and ponds, the Little River receives 100s of trout stocked by Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife hatcheries in May. It has prolific hatches of caddis, stoneflies and Mayflies.

Be sure to know how to identify the difference between Brown trout and Atlantic salmon, a Maine listed endangered species. Maine laws demand the immediate release of Atlantic salmon.

Access is very good along main and secondary roads. Dams offer impounded waters for watercraft access to the warm water fish species. There are too many places along this river to write about here, but one deserves special mention. Union Falls Dam (known locally as Skelton Dam) in Dayton, has plenty of public parking on the left side of the road that continues directly to the dam. It’s a short hike from the parking lot through the farm fields, and to the fast water below the dam. Be careful when wading, as water levels can change rapidly.
