First Roach Pond

Spanning eight miles with clear, cold waters up to 130 feet deep, First Roach Pond is a prime spot for salmon, lake trout (togue), and brook trout fishing. Bring your own boat or join our guided trips in a fully equipped 16-foot Lund, complete with downriggers and top-tier gear for an unforgettable day on the water. This pristine lake feeds the Roach River, a legendary fly-fishing-only, catch-and-release fishery teeming with brook trout and lake-run salmon.

Roach River

This six-mile river, flowing into Moosehead Lake, offers intimate wading opportunities for brook trout and salmon up to 3 lbs. With fast riffles, deep pools, and fly-fishing-only regulations, it’s a dream for purists. Our expert guide will take you to the best spots and provide top-quality gear if needed.

Remote Ponds & Native Brook Trout

Hidden ponds in the region offer incredible fishing with minimal pressure. Wild brook trout rise eagerly, especially during the Green Drake hatch in July. Our guide will take you to remote, rarely visited waters where you can experience phenomenal dry fly action in a serene, wildlife-rich setting.

Smallmouth Bass – Exciting & Underfished!

Often overlooked, our local smallmouth bass grow to trophy sizes in clear, cold waters. With explosive topwater strikes and consistent action, bass fishing is perfect for beginners, kids, or seasoned anglers. Whether using conventional tackle or fly fishing with poppers, this is fast-paced fishing at its best!
