Pretty fish!
What part of Maine?
I used to fish for trout and landlocked salmon in the streams in the Rangley area. One of my favorite streams was the connection between Parmachenee and Aziscohos Lakes.

Very very nice! My wife and I fished out of an old Maine camp several years ago for Brookies and Landlocks and had a ball. http://www.lakewoodcamps.com/

These are Moosehead lake region fish. All wild, no stocked fish there.
Headed to Grand Lake Stream tomorrow to chase salmon spawn there because it's still open for fishing. Hopefully have some pictures of colored up salmon. Not holding my breath, water is dangerously low.

I'm surprised not to see more fall color on the deciduous trees in your pictures.

Years ago, my favorite brookie flyfishing area was Red Feather, CO. Loved to see those beautiful spawning colors. My favorite fish to eat.
That Maine river there is beautiful. Nice fish!

too bad photobucket destroyed your photos. I would have liked to have seen them!
