Molunkus Stream

Molunkus Stream is a river flowing through Maine, United States. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Molunkus Stream, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques

• For Brook trout

  Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.

• For Smallmouth bass

  Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.

• For Chain pickerel

  Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs due to pickerel's sharp teeth, and vary your retrieve speed until you find what they're hitting.
