The Upper Kennebec Valley
One of the best areas in the state to fly fish for wild, native
brook trout and salmon. And once the ice is out on Moosehead
Lake, sometime in May, the salmon, lake trout and brook trout
are swimming close to the surface. Some of the finest smallmouth
bass fishing in the world happens on remote and beautiful
stretches of both the Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers, Catching
fish at these locations is absolutely guaranteed. In the fall,
moose, deer, bear, grouse, woodcock, ducks and a wide variety of
small game take center stage. While hunting is good throughout
the region, it's the trophy-sized large game attracting
outdoorsmen to the northern towns of Bingham, Moscow, The Forks,
Jackman, and Rockwood. Bears weighing more than 500 lbs., moose
with a rack spread more than 50", and bucks weighing in excess
of 200 lbs., dressed, have been recorded here. For more
