As a young boy, I can remember the 3-hour car ride in the station wagon dreaming of all of the adventures that lie ahead! As the miles passed and the air cooled, the excitement grew, for soon I’d be tramping in the forest and paddling on the clear waters of western Maine.
Before the car was even in park I’d be out the door and on a dead run! First to the stream, and then to the swimming hole. The cold rushing waters, lined with driftwood, were refreshing and clear…and after a quick dip I was most certainly standing on a rock with my Zebco 202 in hand, hoping to catch a fish!
Little did I know back then that I’d someday be living in this place that I loved so much, a place I felt connected to, and a place I felt at home. Little did I know that I would not only be living in this place, but I’d be making a living here doing what I love, and providing an opportunity for others to share this same experience!
Orion Outfitters and Guide Service is Bethel’s premier 4-season guide service. We are here to provide exceptional outdoors adventures for people that have the desire to experience all of the wonderful things that western Maine has to offer – from hunting, fishing, and canoeing, to other recreational opportunities.
Each summer, thousands of visitors head to the region for a chance to relax, to reconnect with each other, and to find adventure! Fortunately, adventure isn’t too hard to find here! Whether it’s looking for a moose, catching a brook trout, or enjoying the best lobster roll around, Bethel is sure to please!
While here, you will find friendly people, beautiful scenery, and abundant wildlife, and in the warm summer months, you have a yet another opportunity…bass fishing!
Yes, that’s right, Large and Smallmouth Bass! Maine is slowly being recognized as a go-to destination for trophy quality bass fishing! Now I’m certainly not discrediting our exceptional trout fishing; brookies, browns, and rainbows are abundant. But as the waters warm and the days are long, the bass fishing is hot! What makes western Maine so unique? Bass can be fished in many area lakes and ponds, as well as rivers and streams, by lures, by fly, or by bait. Nothing get’s your adrenaline pumping like a hard strike on an early morning top water fishing excursion.
In some locations you can catch both Large, and Smallmouths on the same cast. Other locations are more specific. Either way, the fishing is nothing short of amazing, and Orion Outfitters will be happy to put you on the fish! As a family friendly guide service, we specialize in connecting youth to the outdoors, as well as the novice or experienced angler! We’ll provide the equipment, and have a fully outfitted bass boat, canoes, and jon-boat to get you where the fish are. We also provide rods and tackle and lunch on the water! For more information check out our website at www.orionoutfitters.net, or our facebook page.
