Exciting News from Headin' North Guides!!

Vince and I have been putting together some really great options for clients for this season and for years to come.  Piggybacking the idea off our good guide friend, Kevin McKay, we have created options to offer clients FREE lodging when they book two trips with us.  Instead of spending money for two nights at a local hotel, why not use that money to spend a second day on the water?  

Our main goal is to offer free lodging accommodations to guests in three different parts of the state.  Currently, Vince has lodging accommodations for the 2019 season available in two places.  

The first location is in Scarborough, which is 10 minutes for downtown Portland, for clients who would like to do smallmouth bass and pike float trips here in Southern Maine.  Vince has an apartment attached to his home that he uses for AirBnB, which has two beds, a full bathroom, and a small kitchenette.  The beauty of this option is that you can spend the day on the water having a blast chasing smallmouth bass or pike and then have dinner at one of Portland's many amazing restaurants in the evening.  You could easily drive or take an Uber ride to downtown Portland.  Or bring your own cooler items and grill your dinner right in the backyard.  There's a gazebo on site to keep you away from mosquitoes and share your stories while enjoying a beverage or two!  

​The second location is in a town that you've probably never heard of called Brookton.  Brookton is a small town located about 1 ½ hours northeast of Bangor.  It's also just thirty minutes from Grand Lake Stream, which is famous for landlocked salmon and brook trout fishing in the spring and fall.  If you want to come in the summer, the smallmouth fishing is out of this world.  You'll be on the water all day, and most likely not see another person.  If you want that remote feeling, this is the place for you.  This option includes two beds, a kitchen and rustic toilet accommodations :) 

Vince is working on putting finishing touches on these two spots for the upcoming season.  We'll be sure to upload many pictures and videos of lodging accommodations in the coming months!

Our second piece of news is that I have purchased land in Rangeley, and I'll be spending most of this season (when not guiding) building a cabin that can sleep up to 8 people.  The property is within walking distance of a great brook trout pond, and within 10 minutes of downtown Rangeley.  The Magalloway and Kennebago rivers are both within a 25 minute drive.  I'm very excited to be able to offer FREE lodging to clients in the Rangeley region.   When you fish with me in Rangeley, I don't just have you stay in one spot all day and watch a strike indicator.  Don't get me wrong, we will nymph fish, but I'll have you catching fish on dries, streamers and emergers as well.  I like to move around a lot and find fish.  In other words, I like to help you HUNT for big trout and salmon.  

Keep checking back in as I'll be posting regularly as we build the cabin in Rangeley this summer.  Check in to see the different stages and progress that we make throughout the season!

​We have about ⅓ of our schedule booked up for the season as of today (3/28).  Book two days with us and get FREE lodging.  We love the waters that we fish on and we know them well.  We'll help you have successful days on the water and most likely teach you some new fly fishing techniques in the process!
