"the best guided experience I've ever had"

  • A married couple celebrates a trip to Portland, ME, on a guided fly fishing trip with New England Fly Company.

    "We had a long weekend in Portland, and this was an easy, fun adventure while in town. We can’t wait to come back!


    Isaac was very helpful getting everything set up, answered all our questions, and was very flexible with our timing. On the water, he was super knowledgeable and put us on some great brook trout and lake salmon!"


    -     Patrick & Larin

  • A native wild Maine brook trout caught on a guided fly fishing trip with New England Fly Company.

    "Easily the best guided experience I have ever had. Isaac & Rowan guided us through a challenging river to fish and put us on the most incredible wild salmon and trout.

    They not only put us on the fish, they explained the “why” of everything we did. I learned a ton. I can’t recommend a trip with them enough. You will not be disappointed! Thanks again, guys!"


    -Joe S.

  • Two anglers on a guided fly fishing trip with New England Fly Company to celebrate their babymoon.

    "The most amazing guided fly fishing trip you could ask for. Isaac and Rowan are extremely knowledgeable, incredibly friendly and the most patient down to earth guides I’ve ever experienced.

    The     photography package was a real treat to commemorate our trip. If we would have known how epic this trip was going to be we would have forked over a lot more dough."


    -Troy & Elise

  • An angler hooks into a native landlocked salmon on a guided fly fishing trip with New England Fly Company.

    "Isaac and Rowan are phenomenal fishing guides. Very friendly, and very informative.


    They took the time to explain why we were picking particular patterns and strategies, and gave advice on how to improve particular skills.     We caught some monster landlockeds and had a fantastic day."


    -Ben D.

  • New England Fly Company's guided fly fishing trip client holds a Maine landlocked salmon

    "Fishing a new river in Maine for the first time with my son and son-in-law.


    Isaac and Rowan were both great sources of information about reading the water and adjusting the line set up to find the fish."


    -Louis E.

  • An angler reels in a 14 inch Maine brook trout on a guided fly fishing trip with New England Fly Company.

    "Great guys, great guides! I was so impressed with their knowledge of the local water.


    While on our     annual fall New England trip, my wife was gracious to give me a 1/2 day off from browsing antique barns and overpriced grandkids’ clothes. Happened to get into the brookies on “one of those days”; dries, nymphs, and streamers!! Fantastic day, I’ll be back!"


    -Ed E.
