Open water fishing on Chamberlain Lake of Maine begins at ice-out, around May 5th and closes at the end of September. You can fish for togue (lake trout), brook trout(we still get some brookies, 5 lbs. or better), and whitefish.
Springtime - Trolling streamer flies along the shoreline
Summer - Trolling lures 30' to 50' down
Ice Fishing - Chamberlain is open from January 1st to the end of March
Set traps along shore for brookies; out in deep water for lake trout and whitefish.
The best fishing in Maine begins around the end of May and runs through to the first of July. The best method is fly-casting from canoes or wading some of the many streams and rivers in this area which offer fine brook trout fishing, if you hit it right. Fly casting at inlets is also a good way to get into bigger trout on Chamberlain Lake. Summer trout fishing requires going deep on Chamberlain Lake.
