Wade Fishing for Trophy Bows on the Swift River
One of Massachusett's hidden gems, the Swift River is a rare year round fishery thanks to stringent fly fishing only (FFO) sections and a bottom fed dam. Several holes are known to product monster rainbows and browns, with beautifully colored native brookies in between.

Explore the untouched beauty of New Hampshire’s White Mountains on a fully guided fly fishing trip through remote ponds, wild rivers, and secluded mountain creeks. This immersive experience takes anglers off the beaten path in pursuit of native brook trout and other coldwater species that thrive in the region’s clear, cool waters.
Whether you’re a seasoned fly fisher or just beginning your journey, these trips are tailored to match your skill level and interests. You'll hike into pristine backcountry waters, cast to rising fish in glassy ponds, and wade through hidden streams where few anglers venture.
With stunning scenery, wild fish, and expert guidance, this is more than just a fishing trip—it’s a chance to connect with the landscape, learn new techniques, and experience the quiet solitude of fly fishing in one of New England’s most scenic and wild regions.

Maine Heritage Pond Backcountry Single/Multi-Day
Venture deep into Maine’s backcountry with us on a 1–3 day guided fly fishing trip to some of the most remote, pristine waters in the Lower 48. Home to over 500 native and self-sustaining brook trout populations, Maine’s Heritage Ponds are legendary — and largely untouched.
These crystal-clear waters are hard to reach, rarely fished, and brimming with wild trout. We handle the logistics. You bring your sense of adventure. Whether you're casting dries at dusk or waking to loons echoing over still water, this is fly fishing at its purest.
Backpack in. Wade out. Cast into heritage.

Head of Tide Maine Sea Run Salters
Join us for a 4- or 8-hour guided fly fishing trip to Maine’s storied coastal rivers — where brook and brown trout meet the sea. Target elusive Salters at the heads of tide on iconic waters like the Mousam, Royal, and Presumpscot Rivers.
These wild, sea-run trout are aggressive, beautifully marked, and steeped in New England angling history. With the salt on the breeze and the tide on the move, you’ll cast into an under appreciated fishery that’s as dynamic as it is rare.
