Penobscot River Fishing
The West Branch of the Penobscot River Seboomook Section offers outstanding native brook trout and big river salmon fishing. We fish from Roll Dam down to the put-in for Lobster Lake at the mouth of Lobster Stream. This is a remote stretch of river that is perfect for drift boat adventures and kayak fishing.
We at Northeast Guide Service think it's a perfect place to take you on a guided fishing trip in Maine.
The West Branch falls under Artificial Lure Only, daily bag limit 2 trout / 1 salmon, April through August 15. From August 15 until the end of September is Fly Fishing Only, daily bag limit 1 trout or salmon. Check this trip out, it is not one to miss.
