Region E - Moosehead Region
The Moosehead Lake Region is situated in northwestern Maine in the largely undeveloped North Woods. The region contains hundreds of lakes, ponds, and streams that support self-sustaining brook trout populations and many have never been stocked. Anglers enjoy the unique experience of fishing in remote areas for brook trout, landlocked salmon, and lake trout. The centerpiece of the region is Maine's largest lake: Moosehead Lake, which at 40 miles long, offers a big lake fishing experience. If you're looking for moving-water, there are numerous large rivers that provide great fishing for wild brook trout and landlocked salmon, including some year-round opportunities. If you are in search of native brook trout, then the Moosehead Lake Region is the place to be.
