About Sandy River
A classic freestone in the Farmington area with wild brook trout in the upper reaches and tributaries, and stocked browns in the lower river. Accessible, fishable, and a solid intro to Maine fly fishing. Tributary to the Kennebec — gauge at Farmington covers the productive mid-river section well.
Regulations
Maine fishing license required. Standard trout regs; check Maine DIFW for Heritage Brook Trout designations in upper tributaries.
