Salmon and Trout Fishing

MUNSUNGAN LAKE: We are on pristine Munsungun Lake (four miles long, 123 feet deep) which is our primary fishing water for native brook trout, landlocked salmon and lake trout.  We have some of the best landlocked salmon fishing in Maine.  Fly fishing in Maine does not get any better than here for wild brook trout.  Munsungun Lake is one of the top Five Waters for Landlocked Salmon and the Top Ten Waters for Brook Trout (Maine Sportsman, April, June 1997).  Some of our best salmon fishing is at ice out the first week in May when salmon trolling smelt and smelt patterns can bring 20-30 fish to the boat a day.  Sizes average from 15 to 22 inches and larger, with weights up to four pounds or more.  Through the summer most are caught by trolling monofilament line, sinking fly line, and lead line with bait as well as spinners, spoons and smelt pattern flies (all available at camp).

NEARBY PONDS: Surrounding Munsungun Lake are numerous remote fly casting only ponds that produce wild brook trout from ten inches to four pounds and more.   June and early July are great for dry fly casting, August is a wet line, nymph casting month, and September remains a fantastic month to catch numerous brookies in their full spawning colors on top or just under.   We have canoes on these remote ponds that are accessed by four wheel drive and on foot, or by our float plane.  A guide is highly recommended for all or part of your stay to enjoy these waters that are considered by many to be the last vestige of trophy wild and native brook trout in America.

RIVERS: The Allagash River is close by for a day trip.  It offers excellent brook trout fishing in May, June and September.  The middle of the summer can be good when the weather gives us some cooler water.  A short flight away is the Penobscot River and we have great success on various branches.  These sections are very remote, and quite scenic.  Brook trout can range up to 18 inches.
