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 sport fishing camp or fishing lodge in the northeast. Our clients tell us this is the best fly fishing in New Hampshire.

The upper Androscoggin is a big river with prolific insect hatches. In most 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 , June 2010 trip flash and alder fly video clips, to see for yourself. See the Flash and videos from the June 2011 and the September trip. Read about the experience one of our guests had. <click here> 

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 All-inclusive Lodge Package Highlights:

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 2012 Androscoggin River Fly Fishing Lodge package is June 16 through June 29, rain or shine. In June the Brooktrout and landlocked salmon gorge on the Alder Flies and then hunker down in the deep holes to beat the heat.  In September the river cools down and the fishing heats up! In September,  the most beautiful time of the year, the fish are hungry! Book now to reserve your preferred dates!
