Trophy Maine Brook Trout!

Yes, there are still huge brook trout in Maine. These big beauties were caught in the spring using small dry flies.Maine fishing for wild Brook Trout is another great and  unique experience that Maine has to offer. The state of Maine contains 97% of all the wild or native Brook Trout ponds remaining in the entire country. Here at Northwoods Outfitters we offer guided fly and spin-cast fishing trips on a variety of remote trout ponds in the Moosehead lake region. Just last night Eric enjoyed excellent fishing during an evening Fly Fishing Trip in one of his favorite ponds. He and his guest, Mike Levinsky caught and released 15-20 nice trout during the evening Mayfly hatch. Even if you have never been fishing before our expert guides are exited to introduce you to sport! Call our friendly staff  to help plan your next Maine Vacation!

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.

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!

Mid-May Remote Pond Fishing

A recent half-day guided trip of remote pond fishing yielded great results! We caught approximately twenty native Brook Trout ranging in size from 6” to 16”. It was a relaxing and beautiful night on the pond with no wind to disturb the tranquility. To cap off a great fishing trip, we also saw 9 Moose, 3 Deer, and a Red Fox. It was the perfect Northwoods adventure!
