Housaonic riverwalk in Connecticut.
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
Delaware river PA/NJ..small mouth, Dunfield creek NJ stocked and hold over trout...brookies, Sunfish pond NJ...sunny's, large mouth???
Down in TN/NC at Dennis Cove there is the Black Bear Resort (down the road from Bob People's). Laurel Creek runs right through the property and they stock it...weekly, I believe. The trail goes past many spots along the creek. I know I sure wanted to fish it.
2,000 miler. Still keepin' on keepin' on.
Speck Pond, Maine
Let me go
There was a thru hiker in 2000 named Wasabi that fished a lot of the AT and was gonna write a book about it when he finished. Don't know if he ever did.
South Holstein river in Virginia
Stayed at Campsite 90 on Fontana Lake in the Smokies afew weeks back. While swiming, I saw alot of small mouth bass.
Off the AT in Shenandoah NP is Jeremy's Run. My last trip I passed several fishermen.

Since this thread is posted under MAINE I though I would add some Maine Info: From NH border NOBO- http://www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing/lak...rplus_pond.pdf http://www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing/lak.../long_pond.pdf http://www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing/lak...thday_pond.pdf http://www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing/lak.../eddy_pond.pdf http://www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing/lak...horns_pond.pdf http://www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing/lak..._pond_west.pdf http://www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing/lak...carry_pond.pdf http://www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing/lak...ierce_pond.pdf The greatest concentration of Maine Trout waters is in Franklin County. There are many streams that you will pass and ford, but these warm up in the summer and may not be too productive. If you are here in the summer, be aware that after the waters warm in lakes and ponds, the fish will be at depth except in the early AM and PM. Also many of Maine's Trout waters are "no live bait" this includes worms. One of my favorites is The Horns Pond in the Bigelows. Don't get caught without a license if you are carrying fishing gear. Have fun! WETSU
Everyone has a photographic memory. Not everyone has film.
Cooper Brook Lean to in Maine. Caught about 6 brown trout, good size.
This topic is a sore point with me. I hiked from Andover to MT K a few years ago, carrying fishing gear and a $50 out of state fishing permit. Sure there were a lot of ponds and streams, but the wind was blowing too hard to cast. On one lake that I got on with a canoe I did lots of casting but do you think that I caught any fish? No.
The crowning insult of the story is that when I go to the grocery store, they have 16" trout, bigger than I could ever imagine catching, for about $3.00 each. Others may have better luck, but for my money I've fished my last on the AT.
