Smallmouth bass floats are our most popular guided trip. We fish the lower Penobscot watershed between Medway and Bangor and frequently catch more than 40 hard-fighting river bronzebacks per trip. The 50-mile main stem section of the Penobscot River, along with three major tributaries, offers a near endless variety of angling options. This is a beautiful, natural area where bald eagles, osprey, deer and beavers are seen nearly every day.

Most of our bass fishing trips are run from a very comfortable Hyde drift boat that has padded swivel seats and knee braces front and back. We also wade a couple of different braided sections of the river that are particularly well-suited for fly fishing. One spot even provides the opportunity to catch landlocked salmon along with bass during certain times of year.

Full day driftboat trips cost $320 and include a shore lunch and all of your fishing gear. Most trips accommodate two anglers. A third person can be added to some trips for an additional charge.

We are fortunate to have easy access to a large variety of smallmouth bass fishing waters. We also have excellent largemouth bass fishing in the area. Therefore, we encourage people traveling from a distance to consider a multi-day booking in order to take advantage of our diversity of bass fishing options. I'd be happy to help arrange your lodging while you are in the area.
