Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you source the flies in your fly shop?
Unlike many shops these days that take advantage of offshoring supply, or purchase through big box sellers, all our flies are custom tied by us.
We feel doing this provides a higher standard of quality and allows us to customize certain patterns to reflect the local aquatic life, which in turn provides better imitations and more hookups.
Additionally, where possible, we source our fur and feathers from local Maine providers or independent regional businesses.

We are not currently offering float/drift trips, but are planning to for a few select rivers in mid-2026.
Can I use my own gear?
Of course! We just recommend you let us know what you plan to bring so that we can make sure you aren't forgetting anything. We want you to feel comfortable and to get the most out of your experience, and a tried-and-true kit can go a long way.
If you do want to rent some gear though, we can do that too! Rods/reels and flies are included if needed. Waders are not currently included for every trip. If you can't bring your own, please reach out to us.
What client restrictions or disclaimers do you have in place?
Due to insurance requirements and liability, we:
- take extra precautions (waivers) with pregnant clients
- do NOT allow clients to possess firearms on any of our guided trips
- do NOT provide food to clients (due to allergy and contamination risk)
- do NOT provide transportation to or between fishing locations
- require that all medical conditions be disclosed prior to booking
Do you charge travel fees?
We do not.
Including the locations specified on our New England Waters page, we guide on any water in our New England market, including Vermont, Maine, and Massachusetts (and soon New Hampshire!).
Trip pricing is all inclusive, meaning that no matter what water you'd like to fish (from Aroostook to Lake Champlain's tribs to the Swift River), the price you see is what you pay.
How do we book a trip with you?
By filling out and submitting the Google Form below, we'll receive a notification with your preferences and information. Then we'll follow up with a call/email to learn more about your experience and put together a trip plan.
Once you know you want to move forward, we'll have you pay a 25% booking fee (non-refundable) to hold your date, and have you sign our waivers. The remainder of payment will be due 48 hours prior to the trip.
Depending on how far ahead you schedule, we'll check in intermittently to answer any questions and help vet any gear you plan to bring, with a final call/checkin a couple days before the trip.
Then it's just a matter of hitting the river and trusting your hook set!
