Maine is home to 90 percent of several life history strategies of brook trout, including large river-, lake- and pond-dwelling, and sea-run brook trout. With roughly 1,200 lakes and ponds classified as principal fisheries for brook trout by the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, the opportunities for stillwater brook trout fishing in Maine are extensive. These trophy regulations provide the highest level of protection afforded brook trout in lakes and ponds in Maine, and usually result in the most consistent fishing for large brook trout. While it's not Maine's official state fish - landlocked salmon (Salmo salar sebago) are - no fish is more associated with Maine than brook trout, and no state is more associated with brook trout than Maine.
