The Androscoggin River is a river in the US states of Maine and New Hampshire, in northern New England. It is 178 miles (287 km) long and joins the Kennebec River at Merrymeeting Bay in Maine before its water empties into the Gulf of Maine on the Atlantic Ocean. Its drainage basin is 3,530 square miles in area. The Androscoggin river is a popular fishing destination for anglers seeking Brook, Rainbow and Brown trout as well as Landlocked Salmon and Smallmouth Bass. The upper reaches near Errol, New Hampshire is popular with local and visiting fly fishermen for the chance to catch Landlocked Salmon from a drift boat. Although the upper reaches contain some bass, the river warms as it flows into Maine, and Smallmouth bass are the chief quarry in its lower reaches. The Androscoggin is one of the state's top two smallmouth rivers.

Northern Pike have been recently illegally introduced into certain areas within the river system and are becoming big and a new phenomenon to fish for.
