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 the bass during certain times of year.

Both drift and wade trips accommodate two anglers. A third person can be added to wade trips for an additional charge of $30. Full day driftboat trips cost $320 and a shore lunch is included. Half day driftboat trips cost $210 and include soft drinks and a snack.

We are fortunate to have good access a large variety of bass fishing waters. Therefore, we encourage people traveling from a distance to consider a multi-day booking so they can fish several different sections of river when in our area.
