Fishing
Fishing on the Aroostook River
Mahoosuc registered Maine guide fishing trip: This is a wonderful 5-day canoe fly fishing trip down the Aroostook river in June.
Brook Trout Fishing on the Aroostook River, Fort Fairfield: “The entire month of June offers top-rate brook trout fishing all along the Aroostook River, perhaps the most dependable and constant action of the entire season. Best of all, regardless of your style of fishing — worm rigs, fly casting, tossing lures or trolling — everyone will catch trout and often some large ones.”
“While a canoe or small boat helps anglers explore more water, it’s amazing how many fish are caught from boat landings, roadside shorelines and even residents’ backyards just by casting from the river bank. There are several maintained boat ramps with parking in various communities and dozens of rough roadside launch sites from two-tracks and field roads from secondary and paved highways along each side of the river’s route.”
