Hey guys and gals I just started on this place i have looked and read some things about how to catch game fish like salmon and brookies and touge but those are usually from 10 years ago and i wanted to see if anyone knows of any good tips to catch these fish i caught my first brook trout last year at great moose pond in hartland but i just got a snowmobile and would like to go farther and try for different fish now and was wondering if there are any good tips to catch these fish and if there are any good lakes to fish for salmon and brookies and touge i know most people don't Tell there secret fishing spots which i don't either but I'm a younger angler (17) and have a pretty good amount of experience but i would like to know if there are any good spots to fish i live in the plymouth area which is basically newport for those of you that don't know plymouth would love to hear what everyone has to say on hear thanks

Welcome to the site, I would say hook up with someone from your area when the season starts or go to one of the M&G's.

I live in Winslow, plenty of waters around to catch the trout. Togue and salmon waters are a bit more sparse, but there out there. Id be willing to make a few trips out with you this year and show you a few tricks. I've got a flasher as well, and you can learn quite a bit while using one

Schoodic has togue.  I've only ever fished it once but we caught a couple

YEP! Like I said, save yer pennies....or maybe better, talk to Santa

Togue tend to run Deep, and salmon tend to be shallow but can be anywhere across the lake, Save these two species for later. Brookies tend to run the shore lines, start your season by target them until you feel proficient at catching brookies. They're the easiest to catch anyways.
There is a meet and greet at Dag's on the 30th. This is a great opportunity If you can make it down to acquire a few mentors and pick up a new fishing buddy or two.

If you are serious about ice fishing, and want to take up jigging, a flasher would be a great Christmas gift.

Thanks for all the info guys I caught my first brookies at great moose pond in hartland last year and i caught them at about a foot or two off the bottom and another thing is that id like to go try schoodic but i dont really know where to fish it cause its such a big lake ive seen videos of it but never tried it but now that i have a sled im gonna be doing more lakes this year.

Best advice I can give somebody new to ice fishing is:
No matter how deep of water your fishing in, I rarely fish deeper than 20 ft down in the wintertime. Some of the nicest and biggest fish are caught 15ft down and all the way up to just under the ice, in 40 to 100 ft water and just off bottom in 20 feet of water all the way to the shoreline. Just my 2 cents.

alright thanks and im not very new to ice fishing just saying but thanks for the advise

NICE! 

My gramps taught me tons! My dad and his buddies did too. Most of those guys are gone now. I learned more and more from watching and sharing and keeping my mouth shut,  with guys that did it right or wrong. Sometimes you can learn learn more from the guys that do it wrong,in the beginning. Like guys fishing steelhead in bright orange as opposed to the guys in dark colors or camo (guess who caches more ) ;  and every time you drop a # line size you catch more fish (Well, you get more bites, the catching is relative to operator error ). I actually wish I was your age again. I was kicking’ the old boys buts (except gramps - I miss him lots), after I paid attention to all of em and how they worked. Cool stuff! Some of the best guys,  you will find here.

Ya i have learned lots from my dad and my uncles and my dads friends and family and my friends most of the time i learn from my mistakes and mostly i just learn from my mistakes and if i loose a fish oh well theres more out there

My best tips
1. Check the lake survey maps online to see what kind of species exist there.
2. Once you find the body of water that has the targeted species, follow these tips.
Brooke trout- Find some shallow water 1-10 feet sandy and rocky areas. Live shiners or smelt work best for me
Salmon- I get my best luck from salmon in a little bit deeper water 20-any depth.. Right below the ice or about half way down. Again live shiner or smelt works best for me.
Touge- Deep water on the bottom with a dead cut up bait. Dead shiner or smelt works best for me.
Have fun be safe and good luck
