Walleye
If you're looking for walleye in northern Maine, Presque Isle offers some fantastic freshwater opportunities. The Aroostook River is a key waterway, providing diverse habitats from fast-flowing riffles to deeper pools that walleye love. Fall is prime time, as the fish feed heavily before winter. Spring, right after ice-out, can also be productive, but be mindful of spawning areas and regulations. A local tip: focus on areas with submerged timber or rocky structure; walleye often hold tight to these features. Access to the river is available at several points along Route 1, but be prepared for some walking to reach the best spots. The walleye here aren't known for their size compared to other fisheries, but the chance to catch a good number of them in a beautiful, remote setting is well worth the trip. Be sure to check the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife regulations for specific rules and bag limits in the Aroostook River watershed.
