Trip Planning Service

Fishing time is a precious commodity, and market research shows that many people who travel to a new area to fish on their own, often leave disappointed. Sometimes the timing of their visit is wrong, or their fishing techniques and tackle are inappropriate. Other times, the location they select to fish is not ideal, or the lodging or guides that they book do not meet their expectations.

To help alleviate these problems, fishing travel consultants can be found in many popular angling destinations around the world. I am one of the only trip planners in Maine and have been in operation since my book, A Fisherman’s Guide to Maine, came out in 2004.

My services can be as simple as providing advice and topographical maps for a weekend backpacking trip to a remote trout pond, or as complex as arranging a week-long itinerary at full-service lodges for anglers interested in my ‘Grand Slam’ tour of Maine fishing.

My standard fee for helping to plan your trip is $200, and can increase in proportion to the amount of time I spend. Budget-minded anglers really like this service because you often can get a full week’s worth of Maine fishing ideas for far less than the cost of a single guided trip.
