Acadia is a great place to stay and is very pretty but it is also very pricey.
You could book a motel in the city of Ellsworth and Acadia is only about 20 minutes away.
Deer Isle is about an hour and 15 minutes away is is also a very pretty place to see.
A lot of people that I take fishing stay on Deer Isle and make day trips to Acadia.
Just a heads up. Like I say places on MDI are expencive to stay there.
if after landlocks and want to get downeast please PM and I will let you know--do't want to go comercial--otherwise scroll through www.flyfishinginmaine.com and see what excites you.
I would love to go after landlocks...I've never done that before.... I read that Green Lake is good for that...Is that true??
i do not know that lake well--but the Grand Lake Stream is trophy water
what is the fishing like on the first week in october???
Wow...If you could get up to Grand Lake Stream, or even the West Branch, you'd be hitting prime fishing time for Landlocks up here. Even if you only book one night at a lodge and fish for one day, you would never regret it (and you would never want to leave). I don't know much about many hot salmonid fishing holes down south, but you could possibly get into some fall run stripers in the surf. I know a good guide down south that might be able to get you into some good fish as well, but the fall can be shifty fishing for stripers sometimes. If you really want to get into some trout/salmon I'm sure you can find some good fishing in southern Maine.
Thanks for the info....Salmon or stripers I don't really care...I just want to be able to put my fly rod to good use!!!
GLS is about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Acadia.
There are lakes on MDI that hold salmon and such if that is what you are after.
