Despite routinely catching the largest fish of all, people who troll for trout, salmon and togue still represent a minority of Maine’s anglers. Trollers need never contend with the fly-fishing crowds, and their tackle permits them to send their bait down deep where the biggest fish await.
| Many people still associate trolling as a sedentary sport using bulky gear and tackle, but heavy and unwieldy gear is a thing of the past. Seymour provides a thorough and comprehensive guide of the advancements made to trolling gear. Lines are new and improved, rods and reels are thinner, making gear lighter and stronger than ever before. “So if you ever entertained any notion of pursuing the art of trolling, there was never a better time to do so than now. And get set to hook on to some of the biggest trout you ever saw,” urges Seymour. |  The age-old practice of lake trolling has now become the wave of the future.

Seymour’s guide to trolling the lakes and rivers of Maine is packed full of the secret tips needed for an angler to finally catch fish that can be measured in pounds, not inches. At which depth are fish hiding in a cold-water lake? What lure is the most effective for brook trout? Which season will provide your best chance to catch a trophy fish? Getting Your Big Fish is ready to serve as your quick reference when you’re floundering.
