2. FRED JENNINGS • PEAK DAWN STRIPED BASS
FLYFISHING TRIP FOR 2
• Peak Dawn Anglers specializes in no-kill
low-water motorless light tackle flyfishing
in tidal rivers. We catch stripers from 12 to
40 inches on short 2- to 4-wt. rods. This is
“saltwater flyfishing for the trout angler” at
its very best!
• The key to flyfishing saltwater rivers lies in
timing and tides. We fish to a lunar rhythm,
wading quietly across the flats, casting to
wakes and ghosts on the sand. Every day
brings surprises. No two tides are alike.
Each trip lasts seven to eight hours,
centered around the ebb.

mostly brown trout, can be caught,
with many fish over 20 inches hooked

6. DOWNEAST WILD TROUT CAMP, Compliments of Dwayne Shaw
DSF is offering three nights stay for 6 or more at the Wigwams or at one of their two other trout
camps. The Machias River Wigwams Rapids Camp sleeps six or more and is located in Township 25 near
Mopang Stream and other notable wild trout waters.
The Downeast Salmon Federation is a partner of TU and conducts extensive sea-run fisheries
conservation programming in easternmost Maine. The Federation owns 3 cabins (two on the Machias
River and one on the Narraguagus River). These are rustic backwoods Maine cabins with bunks and
outhouses and basic accommodations.
All DSF cabins are scheduled on a first come, first served basis. Additional time may be scheduled at any
of the cabins, available on a donation basis. The other two cabins are available as alternates to the
Wigwams depending upon the size of the group and the wishes and desires of the anglers.
DSF can make suggestions for fishing and other logistics and you can believe most of their stories. We
have been assured by DSF (with a wink) that there are no blackflies in any of these Downeast locations
and that the snow snakes are usually hibernating in the summer.

more! Fish on Moosehead Lake in
Maine from one of our lakefront
cabins, fly-fish on the Kennebec

where you can easily catch a silver
salmon or a hungry squaretail trout
in the foam flecked eddies below
the dam.

14. GEOFF KLANE • LOWELL CARP FLYFISHING TRIP FOR 2
• Now, we know this sounds (delightfully)
insane, but Geoff insists that the fishing
can be quite good. The carp take flies
that he can provide (the trip comes with a
box of six egg pattern flies that he tied
and uses for carp), and they fight very
hard as well.
• Don’t expect a pastoral or sylvan
experience; this is urban fishing but you
may catch all sorts of fish. The carp are
the best; they’re surprisingly hard to
catch, and a whole lot of fun! Give it a try.
It may open new doors for you! It will
certainly be something new and different
that you’ve never done before!!!

15. GEOFF KLANE • RED BROOK TRIP FOR 2
• Geoff fishes Red Brook in Wareham a
lot, and knows the stream very well.
He has flies that work there on these
salters, and catches fish there all the
time. You’ll have a great time and will
learn a great deal
• The trip comes with a box of eight
beautiful “salter” brook trout flies that
have been proven to work on these
fish. Grab this opportunity! It’s a
chance to learn from someone
knowledgeable on one of the most
renowned remaining sea-run brook
trout streams in SE Mass.

16. MARK BURTON • WESTERN MA TRIP FOR 2
• Mark Burton is a terrific guy, soft spoken, and
has a great sense of humor. He knows his local
waters all over Western MA where he grew up
and still lives. He will show you around, find you
some great fishing for small or large trout, and
will adjust what you do with him to whatever
kinds of waters you like best to fish
• You’ll have a great day with him and you’ll learn
a whole lot about Trout Unlimited (if you trouble
to ask).
• Mark is currently Chair of the MA/RI TU Council
and is chock full of great plans. You’ll have a day
that you’ll long remember, and maybe make a
new friend! This is a great opportunity.
