Expect Increased Traffic on Maine Trails This Weekend Heads up, snowmobilers: this weekend, March 6–8, is Nonresident Free Snowmobile Weekendwhen riders from other states or provinces can ride Maine trails without a Maine registration (valid home registration required). So, if you plan on riding this weekend, be prepared for increased traffic – especially on trails near Maine’s borders.

March Report

Spring fishing can be some of the best fishing. Maine’s fisheries biologists have compiled their notes from the field:

Late ice can mean hot fishing - trout, salmon, bass, and other warm water species often become more active as daylight increases

Cusk season is here - for extra attraction, let a bag of dead shiners sit out all day - the stronger scent makes them irresistible

Harvest helps - several waters statewide are encouraged to harvest smaller lake trout or salmon to improve growth

Think shallow as sunlight increases - increased sunlight can draw rainbow trout and warm water species to the shorelines and weed beds.

Stay mobile - if traps aren’t producing, change depths/locations.

Plan ahead for bait.
