Extremely stable Maine Freighters have been used in this region of Maine for well over a century. They allow us to get to smaller water, quietly with a good amount of gear yet built to handle large water. Very comfortable that you can stand up and fish from without concern of tipping.

Vehicle Details
We don't usually guide for bears, but Mike has guided in the past for lodges and couldn't pass up the opportunity to get his son Noah on one of the many number of bears around camp. Congratulations to Noah on his first Maine black bear! 165 lb female with a beautiful coat. We watched this bear come in to our bait for over a week before we got a daytime shot at it. Her teeth were in very poor condition, and I don't know if she would have made it through the winter. Now we'll butcher the meat and pack it in the freezer!
Immerse yourself in summer excitement and the joy of landing your catch! Don't let this season’s fun pass you by. Reach out to us via phone, text, or messenger to book your adventure now. We supply all the gear, bait, and fuel—just bring your comfortable clothes, snacks, and prepare for an amazing day on the beautiful blue waters!

The team at Maine Upland Guides Service continues to be exceptional. They put me on enough birds that I hit my limit twice in the two days I was there. Great hunting, great lodging and great food.

I took the Maine Guide prep course from Mike and Dave from Maine Upland Guide Service a few months ago and just passed 3 of the tests on the first shot: Hunting, Fishing, and Recreation. I'm certain that I would not have been remotely as prepared had it not been for the class! Their insight and knowledge is second to none and I would recommend the class to anyone who may be thinking about become a Maine Guide.

Had a great time fishing a couple of times with these guides. They are patient and full of great tips for beginners or experienced fishermen! Homemade shore lunch was awesome also! Can’t wait until the spring to fish with them again!

Great guys to hang with and great hospitality. They are willing to teach people that are new to fly fishing or bird hunting. They have a beautiful camp just out side Jackman Maine. Your trip will be unforgettable.
