Tackle: A 9-foot 5-weight rod with a floating line is the best all-around choice for most sections of the Kennebago River. A 9-foot 6-weight with a sink-tip or full sinking line can be helpful on the middle and lower sections if you wish to fish streamers. Lighter rods in the 4-weight range can be used effectively in the upper river at certain times of the year. Large strike indicators are needed to fish a pair of flies and sufficient weight to get the flies down quickly in the fast-moving water in the lower river. Flies should include smelt, minnow, and sculpin streamer patterns; mayfly and stonefly dries and nymphs; all stages of caddis in varying sizes and colors; as well as egg patterns.
