Maine Striper Fishing

We fish for stripers primarily in the Saint George River out of Thomaston Harbor; a beautiful stretch of Maine's rockbound coast. Only a short drive from Camden, Rockport or Rockland.  Fishing is mostly for school fish but many are in excess of five pounds. Stripers willingly take flies or lures but knowing which fly or lure to use makes all of the difference. That local knowledge is what a guides adds to your trip. Striper fishing is at its best in the early morning or evening when the light is low and fish are active near the surface.
