Seasonal Activity Chart
Rainbow Trout
For rainbow trout enthusiasts visiting Auburn, Maine, the area offers several promising options. The Androscoggin River and its connected streams are regularly stocked with rainbows, providing consistent fishing opportunities. Spring is a particularly good time, as the trout are actively feeding after the winter months. Fall, as water temperatures cool, can also be productive. Lake Auburn is another option, but check local regulations regarding fishing there. A local tip: focus your efforts around areas with current, such as riffles and runs in the river. Rainbows tend to hold in these areas, waiting for food to drift by. Fly fishing with nymphs and dry flies can be very effective, as can spin fishing with small spinners and spoons. Be aware of changing water levels, especially after heavy rain, which can affect water clarity and fishing conditions. Rainbows in this region typically range in size from stockies to a few pounds, providing a good challenge for anglers of all skill levels.
