About Kennebec River – East Outlet
Only 3.5 miles of water from Moosehead Lake's East Outlet Dam to Indian Pond — and one of Maine's premier wild landlocked salmon fly fisheries. Salmon average 2–4 lbs, with fish to 6 lbs in good years. The smelt-driven spring run is the headline event. Fly fishing only year-round, catch-and-release for salmon. A short river, but a serious one.
Regulations
Fly fishing ONLY year-round. Catch-and-release for salmon. Maine fishing license + Inland Salmon license required. Wading ideal below 1,800 CFS; access severely limited above 2,500 CFS. Check Maine DIFW for current slot limits.
