Kennebec River

Originating from the east outlet of Moosehead Lake, the Kennebec River flows 150 miles south to its confluence with the Androscoggin, before dumping into the Atlantic Ocean. Once home to massive runs of Atlantic Salmon, the presence of 6 tailwater dams has turned this river into an exceptional fishery for land locked salmon, brown and rainbow trout. Later in the summer when day time water temps are a bit warm for trout, the smallmouth bass fishing can be fast and furious. With a large variety of mayfly, caddis, and stonefly hatches that move up river as the season progresses, this river offers some of the best dry fly fishing to be found anywhere in the east. Although wading trips are available for the Kennebec, we recommend fishing from a drift boat as this is a large river with limited wading at medium to high flows.

West Branch Penobscot River

Trophy land locked salmon fishing is the name of the game on the "Westy". Although there are a few resident brookies in the river, the upper section is managed for trophy salmon with a size and bag limit of one fish over 26 inches! The caddis hatches on the West Branch can only be described with one word.....INSANE! Hooking one of these aggressive fish is like having a torpedo hooked  to the end of your line. Landlocked salmon love to jump and have been known to clear the water surface in excess of four feet as you try to wrestle them to the boat. Are you a thrill seeker? Spend an extra day with one of the local rafting companies paddling through the rivers many class V rapids. Drift boat trips start at Big Eddy Campground and take you through some of the most productive salmon pools on the river, interspersed with class 2 and light class 3 whitewater. Due to its remote location, we require a minimum 2 day booking on the "Westy". This is a drift boat only trip, since the wading options are limited even at the lowest of flows. Spots fill up quick on this one, so you'll want to book as early as possible.
