Casting a fly to rising trout as loons call and the sun drops behind the treetops is a postcard image of fishing. And Maine has hundreds of remote streams and ponds with healthy populations of brook trout where this image can be realized.

I enjoy getting off the beaten path to pursue native trout in wild settings, so a number of different trips into small streams and remote ponds are available.  In ponds, we fish from stable rowboats, and I am affiliated with a lodge (Nahmakanta Lake Camps) that has boats stashed on 13 different remote native trout ponds.  This provides exclusive access to a number of top fisheries and allows clients to select from a wide variety of fly fishing and spin fishing options.   Most backcountry trout ponds are reached via a scenic hike along a well-marked trail.   Floatplane flyouts into some ponds are available.

We also fish dozens of different small streams, most often by wading.  One type of trip would be to take all day to bushwhack along a remote stream that probably hasn’t been fished by anyone else all season.  A different option would be to drive on remote logging roads and hopscotch our way among easier to reach pools on a handful of more accessible waters.  We also use a canoe or kayak to fish some of my favorite small streams and beaver flowages. 

Brook trout trips cost $320 per day and most can accommodate two anglers. I am affiliated with serveral top lodges and offer some popular packages that include a comfortable waterfront cabin, meals, etc. Because of travel time and logistics, brook trout trips into some locations have a two-day minimum. Custom itineraries can be arranged upon request.
