Fly-fishing Guides - Drift, Wade or Paddle

Special Package: Androscoggin River - Great North Woods NH

One of the best places to fly fish in New England is the Great North Woods of New Hampshire. We have traveled all over the US and parts of Canada on fly fishing expeditions to some great fishing lodges. We have fished the rivers of Montana; the great mayfly hatches in the Catskills and Adirondacks; and the richness of the tailwaters and limestone spring creeks of the Ozarks.  The Androscoggin River stands up well in comparison.  It is relatively accessible (no bush-plane flights required!) but remote enough that some planning is required. Your stay with us on the Androscoggin River in northern NH will rival that of any sporting camp or fishing lodge in the northeast.

The upper Androscoggin is a big river with prolific insect hatches. In some years the Alder Fly (zebra caddis) hatch reaches epic proportions. The giant hexagenia mayfly hatch emerges in late June and extends into July on many of the trout ponds of the Great North Woods of New Hampshire. In September the water cools, and the fish feed aggressively and their fall spawning colors match the brilliant foliage.  Watch our Androscoggin River slide show and video clips, to see for yourself. See the Flash and videos from the June and the September trip.

There are miles and miles of river without a building in sight. Wildlife abounds.  It is not unusual to see deer, bear, fox or coyotes.  Moose are so numerous as to warrant particular caution after fishing the evening hatch. Eagles, osprey, herons and other birds, large  and small, are a constant reminder of the wildness of the Great North Woods of New Hampshire.

We have put together an all-inclusive "Special Fly Fishing Vacation Package" that unlocks the secrets of the Great North Woods for you and a few friends in our fishing lodge in Errol, NH on the Androscoggin River.

Special Fly Fishing Lodge Package Highlights:

•  Guided fishing - Androscoggin River and trout ponds
•  Lodging
•  All meals
•  Instruction, as required
•  Flies, Rods and waders provided, if needed
•  Excellent fishing and beautiful scenery and wildlife

Since we provide personal service, we can only accommodate 4 guided clients at a time, but have lodging rooms available if you want to stay an extra night or two and fish on your own. Or bring your spouse or non-fishing friend for only $80/night including lodging and meals. Also, contact us if you have a larger group.

We love to teach beginners, but also offer a quality fly fishing experience to anglers at all levels. Fishing the Alder Fly hatch and the hexagenia hatch is a dry fly fishing treat for any angler. In 2009 17 of our 28 clients that took the Special Package the last 2 weeks of June had never fly fished before. All of them caught fish, so this is also a great way for "Total immersion fly fishing lessons."

The dates of the Androscoggin River Fly Fishing package is September 22 through 30, rain or shine. In September the river cools down and the fishing heats up! Brooktrout and landlocked salmon have gorged on the Alder Flies and are hunkered down in the deep holes to beat the heat. In September they are hungry! Call or drop us an email to reserve a spot or get more information.

You will arrive the afternoon before the guided fishing date, to get an early start on the day of fishing. You will depart after your last day of guided fishing, unless you plan to stay over an extra night.
