Hello everyone,

We have a ten day camping trip scheduled for mid August and will be splitting our time between the Bar Harbor and Portland areas.

Having never set foot in Maine prior to this trip, I am trying to determine if there are any fly fishing opportunites close by these areas. I've done a search on this and other websites for Maine fishing but the problem I'm having is not being familiar with the area I have no point of reference for the lakes, streams, etc. that are mentioned.

This is primarily a family type vacation so the ideal situation would be wadable water within 30 minutes or so of the above areas for a few hours of morning fishing before the rest of the tribe wakes up and gets moving. Not looking for anyone's honey holes just a place to enjoy a few hours of solitude.

Any advice is welcome. Feel free to private message if you prefer.

Thanks in advance.
