Fly fishing is integral to Maine’s culture and economy. It can mean many things: fishing in lakes, ponds, rivers, streams—or the ocean. Catching wild brook trout or landlocked salmon. Tying flies and getting involved with conservation efforts. Expert anglers discuss what fly fishing entails, how to get started, understanding equipment and safety, and best places to wet a line.
