Moosehead Lake, ME
Lake in Piscataquis County, Maine. The largest lake in Maine and the largest entirely within one New England state, roughly 75,000 acres in the North Woods around Greenville. Moosehead is a wild, cold, deep lake famous for landlocked salmon, lake trout (togue), and native brook trout, with smelt as the primary forage. Trolling streamers and sewn smelt in spring near ice-out is the classic technique; salmon and togue hold deep through summer. Remote, big-water conditions demand caution and good electronics.
