NFC ED Bob Mallard on Maine's Wild Native Brook Trout Ponds

A wild native brook trout pond, and State Heritage Fish water, in Somerset County, Maine. (Emily Bastian)

For me, nothing is more synonymous with the Maine fishing scene than wild native brook trout ponds. This is the one thing that absolutely separates Maine from the rest of the pack, and no matter how hard they try, no one will ever catch up, or even get close.
