Grand Lake Stream in Maine is a short, freestone fly-fishing-only river renowned since the mid-1800s for its wild landlocked salmon and brook trout. With strong regulations, including seasonal closures, bag limits, and dam‑buffer restrictions, it embodies a century of conservation-driven management. The community’s commitment, through hatchery supervision and local land trust protections, ensures this iconic fishery remains pristine and sustainable.

Our walk and wade trip spans the river's top 3 pools and runs, including the infuriatingly technical 'Bathtub'.
