Maine Landlocked Salmon Fishing  If you’re looking for unsurpassed Maine salmon fishing, you’ll find it at Rideout's Lodge on East Grand Lake -- one of the oldest salmon fishing lodges in Maine. Our landlocked salmon fishing season starts strong each year in late April, and continues full strength through June. In this early season, salmon anglers typically use either spincasting or fly-rod tackle to troll live smelts or streamer flies. Summer Salmon Fishing in Maine Landlocked salmon swim deeper during the warmer months of July and August, and it takes a bit more effort to catch them. Drift fishing, using leadcore line or downriggers, is the preferred salmon fishing technique (see our feature article on summer salmon fishing techniques). During the warmer months when live smelts are no longer available, streamer flies, mooselook wobblers and shiner minnows are preferred. Excellent top-water salmon fishing resumes in full strength during September, when the water cools off.  Maine Salmon Fishing Equipment
