Fishing Mooselookmeguntic and Richardson Lakes Maine
Fished for 9 Days in Maine.Family vacation. Picked the wrong weeks for fishing. Never thought it got that hot in the back woods of Maine.Water temps 80*+. But we still caught fish. Best depths 30" to 65"Mostly fished down rigger stacked. But when we did use the lead core 5to 8 colors.Caught a lot of fish in Mooselook. But only got 10 or 12 legal size fish.Bigggest fish a 2 1/2 Lb Brook trout.This place is a fish hatchery tons of fish and schooll after school of bait fish. But fish just do not grow.Most any DB lure will catch fish. Best lures were a small Flashking Orange and gold. Rangley DB; Orange and black dot DB;Alll red DB. Only fished Richardson one day the fishing was much better there. Most of the fish caught were legal size.Best lures in Richardson. Were green silver DB with red stripe.Blue silverDB; Fuzzy green DB. Small orange gold Flashking. Riggers 35to 62". Leadcore 5 too 8 colors. Strange thing Caught three fish and they had both lures on the stacked riigger.Mooselook use to be a great fishery. Can get some big brook trout there. But the salmon just don"t grow.

Sounds like you all had a nice vacation, water is hot everywhere these days.
But "the grass aint allways greener", sounds like they are catchin some nice fish right in your own backyard. But sure is nice to get on a different lake now and then.
