We had an amazing time with Captain Rich! He’s an awesome guy who put us on tons of fish—around 40 smallmouth! He shared different techniques with us and even grilled burgers for lunch. We’d definitely fish with him again!

July 9, 2025

Rich, the owner of “Twin Maple Outdoors,” is an outstanding guide and an all-around great person. His expertise in all things outdoors in Maine is unmatched. He took us to incredible fishing spots, and we were reeling in fish all day. The lunch he prepared was absolutely delicious!

July 9, 2025

Rich did an outstanding effort helping me find an elusive bucket list item- seeing a genuine Maine Moose!!! What a great day! Highly recommend.

July 9, 2025

Rich runs a great guide service! Best in Maine, highly recommend for all things outdoors

July 9, 2025

Spent two days smallmouth bass fishing on the Penobscot River with my wife and Rich. We also stayed 3 nights at the Twin Maple Outdoors lodge. Everything was wonderful from Rich guiding the fishing by giving tips, techniques and his knowledge of the river can almost pinpoint where to cast the fishing lures for a guaranteed catch. Rich grilled burgers for a shoreline lunch and pointed out wildlife along the journey to each fishing spot. The area of the river we fished is beautiful and was secluded as we only saw 3 other boats while on the water. The lodge is modern new construction with the rustic north woods decor. I’d recommend Rich for your fishing, hunting or other outdoor adventures. We didn’t know Rich prior to this trip but he treated us like we’ve known him for years and will definitely be back to fish with him on our next trip to Maine!

July 9, 2025

My father-in-law and I booked an ice fishing trip with Rich in early March and had a blast. We stayed at the lodge which was impeccably decorated and clean. The hospitality Rich showed to us during our trip was amazing, and we feel like we have a friend for life now. I would definitely recommend Rich’s guide service and lodge to anyone interested in a great trip!
