Wondering if anyone could tell me about fishing in central Maine. I'm moving out there, and would like to continue fishing. I'll have a fly rod and all my other gear, however I will be on foot/ fishing from shore. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I also grew up in Maine, Bethel (Newery to be exact). My dad and I fished for brookies mainly in the White Mountain National Forest. He worked for the USFS, so we spent a lot of time on the weekends "working" in the Gorham area. Lots of brookies, pickeral and bass to be had in that area. The Wild and Pleasant rivers were good to us if my memory serves me.
