About Kennebec River – The Forks
Below Harris Station Dam — a famous whitewater corridor that doubles as a productive trout and salmon fishery when the dam isn't running heavy releases. The Dead River enters at The Forks, boosting flows. Smelt-run salmon in April–May, then brook trout, browns, and rainbows through summer when release schedules cooperate. Fish early or late to catch low-water windows.
Regulations
Maine fishing license + Inland Salmon license required. Some catch-and-release sections; check Maine DIFW for current regs. Flows controlled by Harris Station Dam (Brookfield Renewable) — radically variable; verify release schedule before driving.
