Rainbow Trout
Looking for a Maine rainbow trout adventure near Westbrook? The Presumpscot River, flowing right through town, offers decent fishing opportunities. While not a trophy fishery, it's accessible and can be productive, especially during the spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler. Stocking programs supplement the wild population, so keep an eye on the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife stocking reports. Early mornings and evenings are generally best. A good access point is near the bridge on Bridge Street, where you can wade fish. Be mindful of water levels, as they can fluctuate rapidly depending on rainfall. Consider using small spinners or dry flies to entice these rainbows. They tend to be opportunistic feeders. Remember to check the specific regulations for the Presumpscot, as some sections may have catch-and-release restrictions or gear limitations.
