Dave took my nephew out last spring and they had an amazing time. Dave was knowledgeable and patient. He was determined to get a fish! My nephew had the time of his life and can’t wait to go out again!
Evenings bring the howl of the coyote, and the trout rise before breakfast. You'll breathe in the deep aroma of the balsam fir and take in the panorama of a wilderness lake, sandwiched between endless forest and cobalt skies. It's almost a certainty to see the impressive sight of a moose stepping out from the forest edge, or a bear in our camp yard.
As you sit on the camp porch and look out at Coburn Mountain, you'll begin to realize how privileged we are to be here exploring this wilderness, because beyond the forest in front of you is one that is just a little bit deeper, a glacial pond that's just a little bit clearer, with a trout rising in it that's just a little bit bigger.
Our specialties are guided fly fishing trips for trout and salmon in the world-class waters near our camp, as well as wingshooting trips for grouse and woodcock. We can also take you fishing on one of the many of Maine's lakes and ponds in our Maine Freighter and Scott canoes. These traditional guide boats provide a stable, comfortable fishing platform while allowing us to get into those "hard to reach places."
Our off-grid camp is eight miles from the nearest paved road. It is truly surrounded by nature, and sometimes the only sounds are the wind in the trees, the crackling of the fire, and the deep breathing of sleeping pointing dogs, tired from a long day of chasing grouse.

Your trip will be catered to your specifications. Usually, you'll hunt or fish in the morning and evening, with a lunch in the field. We'll return to our lodge afterwards to share a hearty meal, a glass of good spirits, and dynamic conversations or exaggerated tales told by the fire.
We have canoes on site for you to use. Bring your ATV or snowmobile, as there are plenty of trails within easy reach of the camp.
We are very family friendly! Please consider bringing your spouse or kids. We'd be happy to have them, and as parents ourselves we have the patience to instruct the little ones and make it fun for them as well. Canoeing, raspberry and blueberry picking, waterfalls, swimming holes, snowshoeing and scenic views are all readily available.

Birds!!!! Have been chasing ruffed grouse for years but never encountered so many as I did at Maine Upland Guide Service. By mid-morning we were all (dogs included) dizzy from the action. Dave cooked the birds harvested and made a lunch that was beautiful and delicious. Truly an experience I am unlikely to ever replicate or forget!
Maine Guide Service is great for many reasons! They are great guys, great hospitality, awesome food, and a great hunt!!! such a great experience!! Thanks Upland for a great weekend!!!
