TheNarraguagus River is a river located in theU.S. state ofMaine with its mouth in theNarraguagus Bay of theGulf of Maine.[1] It flows through the town ofCherryfield and was formerly well known for its sport fly fishing forAtlantic salmon. This was a traditional highlight of late spring with anglers gathering from afar for the Memorial Day weekend fishing kick-off. The native salmon run has been much reduced due to many different factors.[2]
