Fly fish or spin cast for smallmouth bass, fly fish for trout and salmon, upland bird hunt with your dogs or ours.
Chick Hill Guide Service is located in the town of Clifton in central Maine 30 minutes east of Bangor International Airport and near Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. A smallmouth bass, trout fishing and upland bird hunting guide service, we are close to numerous rivers, lakes and ponds full of smallmouth bass, trout and grouse habitat.
Maine is one of the premier smallmouth bass and trout fishing destinations in the country. We either fly fish or spin cast, boating or wading, and supply rods, reels, flies, lures and a fully packed lunch - anything you may need for an enjoyable day on the water. Bring a hat, sunglasses, bug dope, sunscreen and a rain jacket.
In the spring we troll for landlocked salmon who come out of the lake after ice-out to chase smelt in the shallows using fly rods and hand tied streamers, a Maine tradition.
We fish the ponds and lakes near Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, and the numerous pristine lakes of the Grand Lake Stream area to include the St. Croix river. Our home water is the Stretch of the Penobscot river between Old Town and Medway.
We use a 21 ft freighter canoe, an 18 ft john boat, or a traditional, Grand Laker canoe. It all depends on where we are going, and weather conditions.
For trout, we fish Grand Lake Stream, the West Branch of the Penobscot, and several other rivers to include the Roach and the East Outlet of the Kennebec. May-June, and September are the best trout fishing months.
Grand Lake Stream has a special October extended fly fishing season for landlocked salmon 1-20 Oct. You can bird hunt in the a.m., and fish in the p.m. - Cast and Blast!
We do full or half days. Full days include lunch.We also offer transportation to and from your place of stay if on the way.
If fishing the Grand Lake Stream area, a hot shore lunch is optional. This is a traditional feature of the Grand Lake Stream area which includes fried potatoes, pickles and cheese, fried fish (one that you caught) hot dogs/hamburgers finished off with homemade cookies and guide coffee.
The Penobscot river is known for it's quality smallmouth fishing - Our specialty is a full day or half day float of the river - either spin cast or fly fish. The action can be non-stop!
It does not matter what your skill level is, whether a seasoned veteran or a beginner, we will take the time to make sure you walk away with an enjoyable experience. We specialize in beginner fly fishers, or bird hunters and their young dogs.
In the fall, we shift gears to upland bird hunting and chase ruffed grouse with our dogs or yours. We are familiar with and hunt the areas of Rockwood, Jackman, Grand Lake Stream and Allagash.
