Maine Fly Fishing Guide Trips: As Extreme Or Peaceful As You Want It To Be

class V rapids filling deep pools in narrow and misty Ripogenus Gorge to long broad riffles and runs, the West Branch hosts a thriving population of wild landlocked salmon and brook trout. Due to powerful falls and deep pools, wading many sections of river are impossible, so the best bet for anglers looking to fish the best water is to fish by inflatable raft. The best water to float varies with the seasonal movement of the fish and forage, and progression of hatches making each trip unique.

The season opens on April 1st but doesn’t get rolling until the smelt run shortly after ice out. Fishing this time of year can be unpredictable, but fishing streamers are the best bet for enticing strikes from big salmon hungry from the long winter.

May into June gives way to the first descent hatches of Mayflies and the start of the rivers often epic Caddis hatches, which can sometimes carry well into fall. Stone flies hatches occur throughout the season, and can often bring some of the rivers biggest fish to the surface for a big bite.

Anglers fishing the West Branch should be prepared to fish a variety of techniques from “drag free” dry and nymph presentations, to swinging streamers and wets for smashing strikes.

Best months are June and September with toward the seasons end.

Come enjoy fishing in the company of Bald Eagles, Loons, and Moose, all in the presence of Mount Kathadin, Maine’s highest mountain.
