Maine Stripers are a true conservation success story. Large schools of these fish now jam our coastal rivers. Offering fast fishing along Maine's majestic rockbound coast. Many are in excess of five pounds, and willingly take flies or lures. Striper fishing is at its best in the early morning or evening when the light is low and fish are active at the surface. We fish for stripers primarily in the Saint George River out of Thomaston, Maine.
Maine Outdoors can supply all the equipment you need; lifejackets, fishing rods, lures, flies and even rain jackets. We always recommend that you bring along a jacket, as even on the nicest days the air can get cool. Please feel free to bring your own fishing equipment if you prefer. Striper fishing is best done with one or two anglers and a guide.
Rates:
- Half day (three hours) $275
- Full day (six hours, includes a lunch served by your guide) $475
