Peak season for fly fishing in the Maine Woods is during the cooler days of May, June, and September. Native and wild brook trout are plentiful in the remote ponds and rivers at our Maine Wilderness Lodges near Moosehead Lake. There is easy access to stream fishing on the West Branch of the Pleasant River, or anglers can take to the water inFly Fishing Brochure canoes available to guests on more than ten ponds. Fly rods may be rented by Gorman Chairback and Little Lyford guests at the rate of $25/stay. Please request when making your lodging reservation.

This year, AMC is hosting two fly fishing workshops for beginner anglers as well as an advanced fly fishing workshop and an excursion to remote ponds on AMC’s 66,000-acre conservation land. So take on a new angling challenge or brush up on your fly fishing skills with expert AMC guides by your side!
