Trout Trips on the Androscoggin River

The Androscoggin (Andro) River is a favorite of ours. It is a truly unique fishery in the Western Mountains of Maine. Though it has a warming trend in the summer it boast wild and stocked trout. Rainbow, Brook, and Brown Trout can all be caught in these waters. The Andro has abundant bug and bait life and lends itself to dries, nymphing, and streamer fishing. This river has a wild population of rainbow trout that was established in the 1930s. Though they may take more effort to catch, these gems are worth it! May-June and September-October are the best times to fish for trout in these waters. The gradient of the river is gradual. There are many riffles and runs with pool habitat mixed in. Though the Andro is a series of mostly top spilling tailwaters, the 45 mile stretch we guide upon is void of dams. It fishes and feels more like a western freestone stream. On most trips you will witness eagles fishing and lounging riverside. Some of their favorite perches are amongst of the large arching silver maples and tall white pines that line the rivers edge. There are many gravel bars for stretching the legs and lunches. It is just a great river to guide on and to enjoy with others!

What does a day trout fishing with Alex look like?

Typically we meet in the Bethel area between 7-9 am depending on time of year and our clients schedule.

Rods from 4-6 weight are used. With floating, intermediate, and sinking lines used depending on style and presentation. Clients can expect to fish nymphs, streamers, emergers, and dries depending of the conditions.

Trips are run out of Alex’s Hyde Pro Series XL drift boat. Each trip has room for two anglers.

A small gray boat named 'Hype Pro Series XL' is resting on a rocky shoreline in a river, surrounded by green trees and hills.
