Rainbow Trout
While Biddeford itself isn't directly on a major trout stream, several smaller rivers and stocked ponds in the surrounding area offer rainbow trout fishing opportunities. The Mousam River and some of the smaller tributaries of the Saco River are periodically stocked with rainbows. Spring and early summer are generally the best times to fish, as the water is cooler and the trout are more active. However, fall can also be productive as the trout feed heavily before winter. Look for rainbow trout in deeper pools, riffles, and near submerged structure. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms or nightcrawlers are effective. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) website provides stocking information for specific waters. Local Tip: Check the MDIFW stocking reports regularly to find recently stocked waters. Also, be mindful of catch-and-release regulations on certain sections of rivers to help maintain the trout population.
