Chick Hill Guide service is a fishing, hunting, and recreational guide service located in Clifton, Maine near Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. This area of Maine is close to numerous rivers and lakes full of hard fighting game fish, habitat full of ruffed grouse and woodcock, and scenic waterways with abundant wildlife. An avid lifelong outdoorsman, Mike Hegarty loves to share his passion of fly fishing, bird dogs, and grouse hunting. After 40 years of active service in the United States Navy he now guides full time and is licensed for hunting, fishing, and recreation.
Primarily we fly fish or spin cast for smallmouth bass, one of the hardest fighting and numerous gamefish in Maine. We float the Penobscot river and fish the numerous lakes and ponds in the Grand Lake Stream area such as West Grand Lake, Big Lake, and also the waters close to Acadia National Park. We also wade Grand Lake Stream and the West Branch of the Penobscot river casting streamers, nymphs or dry flies to brook trout and landlocked salmon. Lunch, rods and terminal tackle included. Up to two rods at a time.
Starting October first we chase ruffed grouse and woodcock with your dogs or ours. We hunt Grand Lake Stream, Allagash, and Jackman. Transportation and lunch provided, up to two guns. We'll hunt into November until the snow starts to fly. Fall also brings an opportunity to "Cast and Blast" as Grand Lake Stream has a special fly fishing only season for landlocked salmon 1-20 October. Our canine guide team consists of a 7 yr old German Shorthair Pointer (Duke), a 4 yr old English Lab (Jake), and a 1 yr old Llewellin Setter (Kaeli).
We do wildlife sightseeing/photography trips on the Penobscot river or other scenic bodies of water via boat or canoe. Spend a day quietly floating or paddling with your camera at the ready.
We specialize in beginner fly fishers or young dogs learning the grouse woods. Take a look at our REVIEWS page for comments from previous clients. We are fully licensed and insured including a permit to guide in the North Maine Woods. Member of the Grand Lake Stream Guides Association, the Maine Professional Guides Association, and the Maine Wilderness Guides Organization.
