Fishing for striped bass will be banned on part of Saco River

MAINE PUBLIC • June 9, 2023

The state is banning striped bass fishing on part of the Saco River starting Saturday due to the high mortality rate of stripers that are caught and released there. Department of Marine Resources Commissioner Patrick Keliher says the section between Route 9 and the Cataract Dam will be closed to anglers to protect the fish stock.
