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.

show and video clips,
to see for yourself. See the Flash
and videos from the June and the September
trip. Read about the experience one of our guests had. <click

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.
