What is the maximum length for landlocked salmon and brown trout?

The maximum length for landlocked salmon and brown trout is established at 25 inches. This regulation helps manage fish populations and maintain a healthy ecosystem in Maine's waters. By setting a limit, it encourages sustainable fishing practices, allowing these species to grow to a size that is most desirable for both anglers and the health of the fishery.

This length limit is particularly significant for these species, as it helps ensure that more fish can reach maturity and spawn, contributing to future generations. As a result, this regulation plays a crucial role in conservation efforts while still providing opportunities for anglers to enjoy their sport.

Other options surpass this established limit and are not aligned with the regulations in place to protect these species within Maine's fishing guidelines.
