Fly Fishing in Maine

While visiting the Moosehead Lake Region you may want to spend some time with one of our Registered Maine Guides. We offer a number of options for day fishing and trips. All you need do is show up. We will provide the gear and the knowledge you need for an enjoyable outing.

Drift Boat Services

Spend a day fly fishing from a drift boat on one of our landlock salmon rivers. The West Branch of the Penobscot or the Kennebec River. Your guide will maneuver the drift boat to pools and eddies inaccessible to wading fishermen. Drift boat fishing allows you to cast in a standing position even in heavy water. Our Maine guides are expert casters and can assist you with instruction and technique. $350 per day for one or $400 for two people, includes a shore lunch and all gear.

Smallmouth Bass

Try a day or two fly fishing some of the Moosehead Lake Regions most scenic spots for smallmouth bass. Fish a lake or run a river. Your guide will take you where the air is fresh and the fish are plentiful. Pound for pound a smallmouth bass is one of Maine's best fighting freshwater gamefish. Osprey, eagle, deer, and moose are often seen. A great way to spend some of your vacation time. Trip includes shore lunch and all gear, $350 per day for one or two people. Overnight trips also. We bring everything and do the cooking. $250 per person per day.

Remote Ponds Float Tubing

If you have never spent a relaxing day fly fishing from a float tube, here is a great opportunity. We'll provide the float tubes and necessary gear you need. The Moosehead Lake Region has countless small remote ponds loaded with native brook trout. Catch & Release policies have preserved some of these jewels for all time. You'll be nestled in a float tube as comfortable as your easy chair casting to rising trout.We often see moose and deer feeding around the shore. What could be nicer. Lunch and gear included. $300 per day for one or $350 for two people.

Fall Fishing

Enjoy some of your September fishing time fly fishing one of Maine's best landlock salmon rivers, the Upper West Branch of the Penobscot River below Hannibal's Crossing. Accessible only by canoe or seaplane some of the best fall landlock water stretches before you. By twenty foot canoes, we haul a tent camp eight miles downstream and set up among some of the best pools on the river. The food is plentiful and pleasing to the taste buds. Not what you might expect in the back country. It's fly fishing only where the salmon hit hard and jump often. Four pound fish are not uncommon with the average around two pounds. Add the fall colors and a campfire and it makes for a trip people take again and again. $250 per person per day. Three day minimum.

Maine Muskies

Join us in the spring or in the fall for a wonderful trip into the St. John River drainage to Battle muskies with your fly rod or spinning tackle.

Considered to be the fish of a thousand cast in most places, Maine has some of the best action anywhere. We have been averaging four to eight fish a day on flies and lures.

We will spend two days and one night camping in remote Maine where we see more moose, deer and eagle than people. Accessible only by 4-wheel drive or float plane. We'll bring the gear and food and do all the cooking.

Spring is spawning season for muskies. We fish the shallow marshy areas with flies and lures where the muskies go to spawn. The strikes are furious and surface fishing at its best. Fall brings the muskie back to the shallows prowling the shoreline searching for an easy meal. The leaves are turning and the scenery is spectacular. Moose frequent the area foraging for the last of the water plants.
