Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview New Brunswick
New Brunswick, Maine, sits in a uniquely productive corridor between the St. Croix River, the US–Canada border lakes, and the cold saltwater of Passamaquoddy Bay. This mix of flowing water, deep lakes, and rugged coastline creates year‑round opportunities for smallmouth bass, landlocked salmon, trout, panfish, and seasonal inshore saltwater species.
Spring fishing around New Brunswick typically starts on the St. Croix River and its tributaries as ice pulls back. High, cold flows push landlocked salmon and brook trout into soft current seams, eddies, and below inflowing brooks. Work 1/8–1/4 oz marabou jigs, small spoons, and in-line spinners tight to the current break, letting them swing just off bottom. Fly anglers do well with streamers that imitate smelt and juvenile alewife; fish them on sink‑tip lines in the deeper slots and along ledge edges. Perch and pickerel in nearby ponds turn on as soon as shallow coves reach the low 40s—slow-roll small paddletail swimbaits or live minnows near emerging weedbeds.
By early summer, the St. Croix system and border lakes are prime smallmouth bass water. Rocky points, boulder shorelines, and shoals are the key habitats. In June, target 4–10 feet with tube jigs, 3–4 inch stickbaits, and finesse swimbaits, popping them off rock transitions where gravel meets chunk rock. As surface temps rise, bass slide deeper during the day. Focus on 12–20 feet using drop-shot rigs, Ned rigs, and small football jigs crawled slowly across bottom. Early and late, run topwaters—walk‑the‑dog plugs and popping baits—parallel to rocky banks to take advantage of low‑light feeding windows.
Trout and salmon fishing stays consistent through summer if you move to deeper, colder water. On larger lakes, look for landlocked salmon suspended over 40–80 feet, often stacking along steep shorelines, points, and mid‑lake humps. Trolling is the dominant tactic: small spoons and streamer flies behind lead‑core line or downriggers, set just above the thermocline. Use your sonar aggressively—adjust depth whenever you mark bait or arcs off main‑lake structure. For brook trout in smaller ponds, concentrate on inlet and outlet areas early and then shift to shaded shorelines, spring holes, and deeper basins with slow‑trolled, small wobbling spoons.
Fall is one of the most productive times to fish near New Brunswick. Cooling water drives smallmouth bass shallow again; work reaction baits like medium‑diving crankbaits and spinnerbaits across wind‑blown points where smelt and young‑of‑year perch stack up. Landlocked salmon push toward tributary mouths and narrows; cast spoons and spinners across current tongues and allow them to sweep naturally. Trout become aggressive—fish larger streamers and brighter spoons than you would in summer, keying on overcast days and just before frontal passages.
Even in winter, the region’s lakes and ponds support solid ice fishing. Target mixed bags of perch, pickerel, and the occasional bass by setting tip‑ups along weedlines in 5–12 feet, staggering baits from just under the ice to a foot off bottom. In deeper trout and salmon waters, position traps off points and drop‑offs, using small shiners or smelt where locally available. Jigging spoons and tungsten jigs tipped with bait can be worked vertically to pick off active fish when flag activity slows.
Nearshore saltwater around Passamaquoddy Bay adds another layer of opportunity. In late spring and summer, striped bass patrol river mouths, rock piles, and current rips—cast soft plastics on jig heads, bucktail jigs, or shallow‑running plugs across moving water. Mackerel and occasional pollock gather around wharves, ledges, and tide lines; sabiki rigs or small shiny metals worked mid‑water are effective. Emphasize tide movement for all coastal fishing—plan your efforts around the strongest currents at mid‑tide for the most consistent action.
