Last week, Erik Poland set a state record when he caught a lake trout that weighed 39.2 pounds. That kind of news can (and will) prompt anglers across the state to head to their local lake or pond and try their luck. Who knows? There might be another state record fish lurking down there, just waiting to take your bait and make you famous. Fortunately, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife biologists regularly compile tips designed to help anglers catch more fish, and go where the fishing will be good.
