2009 Atlantic Salmon Licenses Now Available

April 14, 2009

Please be advised that the 2009 Atlantic Salmon Recreational Fishery on the Penobscot is set to open on May 1st and will run until May 31st. Directed angling for Atlantic salmon is permitted only in the specific open area on the Penobscot River between the two painted red markers on opposing banks that are 150 feet below Veazie Dam, down river to the former site of the Bangor Dam. The fishery will be open for catch and release only. If for any reason during this timeframe the Commission deems that fishery needs to be shut down in order to protect the resource, red flags will be flown on the river banks and the fishery will remain closed until the flags have been removed. Please visit out website for more information. http://www.maine.gov/dmr/searunfish/index.shtml

The 2009 Atlantic salmon licenses may be purchased through any authorized MOSES dealer throughout the State of Maine or online at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website. Please visit https://www5.informe.org/cgi-bin/online/moses2/index.pl, for more information.

Please note that as in years past, ALL anglers who purchase an Atlantic salmon license are required to fill out and return a 2009 Atlantic Salmon Angler Survey to the address listed below. Please contact Kathleen Brosnan with any questions at (207) 287-9972 or via email at kathleen.brosnan@maine.gov.
