Father & Son Fishing

After a successful moose sighting on our Moose Safari, one father treated his sons, ages 8 & 6, to a morning of fishing. They loaded up on gear at our store and headed out for some quality father and son time on the water. Upon their return they reported that they caught (and released) 52 fish! Among their catch was white perch, yellow perch, and several Smallmouth bass. Create your family memories: call today to book your Family Fishing Trip with Northwoods Outfitters.

Adventures with Dan: Canoe & Kayak River Trip

While on a van drive to the West Outlet to go kayaking this week, the Giannakouros family spotted a Pileated Woodpecker! Woodpeckers can be identified by the rhythmic drumming of their bill. They live in wooded areas and tap on tree trunks to find insects, which in turn, they eat. Some species of woodpecker drum to communicate with other woodpeckers during courtship. It is estimated that a woodpecker can tap up to 12,000 times per day!

Morning Moose Watching Trip!

Spring is here and the moose are really starting to move. All of our trips this week spotted the elusive Bullwinkle. 18 moose sightings this week alone! We have had a blast with our customers, some repeat and some from as far away as England! The moose are a little grey this time of the year after a long winter. As the season comes along they will start to bulk up and show antlers. Soon the calf's will be born! Creating great photo opportunities! This mornings customers Diane and John drove 900 miles just to join Ashley on a guided Maine Moose Tour. They were not dissappointed! Moose watching Trips offered Daily!

When the smelts are running the Fish are Biting!

Big lake fishing has really ramped up this week. Temperatures are starting to rise on the local lakes and rivers which means the fishing is picking up. Between Mike and Eric, our Maine fishing guides, had 3 lake trips this weekend. All of our trips produced multiple Salmon and trout catches. If the rain ever stops and the sun starts to shine we should start to see some good insect hatches for those fly fisherman. River levels have been high this spring because of spring runoff and the spring rains. The best Bass fishing of the year is in the next 6 weeks so be sure to book soon!

Hiking the Northwoods!

A group of fine folks recently visited us here at Northwoods Outfitters. They wanted to bypass the adreneline rush of water-water rafting and just experience nature firsthand. Our sales personnel were able to help some of them update their rustic walking sticks with state-of-the-art Trekking poles that help cushion impact on their knees. They also picked up one of our hottest selling books, written by one of our own guides, "North Woods Walks - A Collection of Hikes in Northern Maine" - which is now in its second edition. From this book, these folks chose to hike Little Moose Mountain. A camera is a valuable asset for this walk. Not only were these people raving about the views and up-close encounters with nature - but, supplied us with a photo of the breath-taking view from the top!
