Fishing
The portland area is going to be too warm for much trout fishing. they are still there, and you can certainly go the local fantasy fishery, the Presumpscot. They put over 10,000 fish in 3 miles of water, so it should be like shooting fish in a barrel. Not my kind of fishing, but they say it is a social thing. Get the delorme and look to the waters in the northwestern mountains if ya want summer trout. Of course salt water is a whole different story. There are lots of places for that. Most any beach, river mouth or rock jetty will have stripers and maybe even blues. You can go after stripers with a fly (clouser minnows or some other big streamer) but mostly by summer it is better to use bait. Mackerel or sand worms off the beach or jetties is the best. I run them under a bobber about 3/4 depth or on a slider right on bottom with a crab float. good rivers are the saco, scarborough and the sheepscot in the portland area. Rock croppings, like at two lights state park, respond well to bombers, rapala's, or maybe yo-zuris fished right behind the waves as they break. Good luck, remeber fishing is like cooking, recipe's are meant to be adapted. so try different things and good luck
