Catch & Equipment
Brook Trout, along with Landlocked Salmon and Lake Trout, offer anglers a variety of species and fishing techniques from fly-fishing to trolling. Guests may either rent a boat and motor here, or bring their own.
We recommend both 5 and 6 weight rods with floating and sinking lines to make adjustment to the changing water flows. Long tapered leaders (9 – 12 ft.) will work best with 3x to 5x tippet. We suggest that you bring your own wading staff and a personal floatation device (PFD) for safely fishing the Rapid River. A flashlight to fish into the twilight will assist your safe exit from the pools.
If you wish, you can hire our seasoned fishing guide Bob Dupont, or other local guides we can recommend.
