Brown Trout
If you're chasing brown trout in Maine, don't overlook the Calais area. The St. Croix River watershed and its tributaries hold a decent population of wild and stocked browns. The cool, clear waters of streams like the Dennys River and its branches provide ideal habitat. Spring and fall are prime times to target brown trout, especially during the mayfly hatches in the spring or when the trout are preparing to spawn in the fall. Focus your efforts on deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with rocky structure. Wading is the most common method of fishing these rivers, so be prepared with appropriate gear. A practical tip: check the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) stocking reports to find recently stocked locations. While wild browns are present, stocked fish can provide more immediate action. The brown trout in this region average a respectable size, and the chance of landing a larger, holdover fish is always present.
