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 really enjoy getting off the beaten path to pursue native trout in wild settings, so a wide variety of trips into small streams and remote ponds are available.
In ponds, we usually fish from stable rowboats or large canoes with pontoon stabilizers. I am affiliated with several top lodges that have boats stashed on a variety of remote native trout
ponds. This provides exclusive access to top fisheries and allows clients to select from a wide range of fly-fishing and spin-fishing options. Most backcountry trout ponds are reached via a scenic hike along a well-marked trail. Float plane fly-outs into some ponds are available.
I also fish dozens of streams around the state, mostly by wad
ing. On some trips, we’ll spend the day bushwhacking along a remote stream that might not have been fished by anyone else all season. On others, we’ll drive on remote logging roads, and hopscotch our way among easier-to-reach pools on a handful of more accessible waters. I also use a canoe or kayak to fish some of my favorite small streams and beaver flowages.
Brook trout trips cost $475 per day and most can accommodate two anglers. I am affiliated with several lodges that offer popular packages that include waterfront cabins, meals, etc. Because of travel time and logistics, brook trout trips to some locations have a two-day minimum. Developing custom itineraries is one of my specialties.

“During three days of trout fishing, we never saw another person. Amazing. I didn’t think places like where you took me still existed”.
Ed R, New Hampshire
“I haven’t had dry fly fishing this good since I fished above the gates at Parmachenee in the 60’s.”
Ed G, Maine
“The mayfly hatch that we fished was so thick that I found dead flies in my fly boxes and pants pockets for several days after our trip.”
