Great Summer Adventures!

Summer is in full swing at Northwoods Outfitters! With warm weather and sunshine, moose spottings have been great for our customers. One customer sent this after their excursion with Northwoods Outfitters:

"Just wanted to say thanks to Northwoods and especially Ashely for the spectacular outdoor adventure. We knew we were in for a treat when we spotted a moose and a black bear while still in the van on the way to the pond. Our canoes were barely in the water when a beautiful bull moose stepped from the forest. We were able to watch him feeding in the water for nearly 45 minutes. Ashley did a great job with the children. They all say that our moose tour was the best part of our whole vacation. Thank you."

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!

Adventures with Dan: West Outlet Bald Eagle

This week Dan delivered for his customers a sighting of the Bald Eagle - the symbolic token for American freedom. So it seemed quite fitting to post about Dan's sighting this week, as here we are leading to July 4th - Independence Day. Amid the fireworks and family gatherings this weekend, let this be a reminder to honor our great nation.

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!
