Rainbow Trout
While Saco, Maine, isn't renowned for its trout fishing, the smaller tributaries of the Saco River and some stocked ponds in the surrounding area offer opportunities to catch rainbow trout. These fish are often stocked by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Spring and early summer, immediately after stocking, are prime times to target them. The cooler water temperatures are ideal for trout activity. A productive approach is to use small spinners, worms, or PowerBait in the stocked ponds. For the tributaries, try fly fishing with dry flies or nymphs, focusing on riffles and pools. A helpful tip is to check the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife's website for stocking reports to find recently stocked locations near Saco. Be sure to have a valid Maine fishing license and familiarize yourself with local regulations.
