Brown Trout
Anglers seeking brown trout near Augusta should focus on the smaller rivers and streams that feed into the Kennebec River. The Cobbosseecontee Stream, for example, offers decent brown trout fishing, especially in its upper reaches. Spring and fall are prime times, coinciding with cooler water temperatures and trout spawning activity. Early morning and late afternoon are often the most productive times to fish. Several access points exist along the Cobbosseecontee Stream, but be mindful of private property and respect landowners' rights. Wading is often necessary, so appropriate gear is essential. A local tactic is to use small spinners or fly fish with nymphs and dry flies that imitate local insects. The brown trout in these waters tend to be wild and can be quite selective, so presentation is key. Be sure to check the specific regulations for the stream you're fishing, as some sections may have catch-and-release restrictions.
