Hunting Bear
Bear season officially starts the last week in August and
runs through the third week in September. However, we are
busy baiting our bear sites a month before the season
begins so we know which are active. Our exclusive sites
are located on Maine Public Reserve land and Irving Wood
Products land, areas known for large populations of black
bear. We typically guide only four to six hunters per week
so we can give our guests the attention they deserve.
While there are no guarantees in hunting, we WILL
guarantee you will be given an active site and memorable
hunt.

Your hunt will begin as soon as you check in and unpack. There is
a tree stand and target area on the premises for hunters wishing
to practice shooting from a stand before their first day out. We
suggest you check the accuracy of your firearm or bow before
venturing afield. You will be oriented and instructed by a guide
on the techniques you can use to maximize your chances for
success. After a hearty breakfast and lunch each day, hunters will
be escorted to their tree stands to hunt alone until they are
picked up by a guide at the end of the day. As hunters return in
the evening, the lodge becomes a gathering place to share stories
during dinner. Successful hunters will find reassurance knowing a
guide will assist in tracking wounded bear, field dressing,
transporting, and caping trophies for mounting.
Bear hunters enjoying early-week success might want to bring along
fishing gear - fall brook trout and landlocked salmon fishing on
Eagle Lake is superb!
Trapping Bear
Maine is the only state in the country to allow bear trapping. If you've only dreamed
of the experience of trapping Maine black bear, you can make that dream come true at
Fish River Lodge! Maine honors non-resident trapping licenses. Trappers wishing to
try their skill at trapping black bear can obtain a Maine trapping license through the
Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. A Maine bear trapping permit is also
required. We recommend you book early and obtain your required license and permit
well in advance of the season.
Trappers arrive on Sunday and once they get settled in to their cabin are escorted to
an active bait site by a registered Maine guide where they can set their trap. Bring
your own trap or rent one from us. Traps must be checked daily.
Trapper's cabins are fully equipped with a kitchen, shower, and all the comforts of
home. In addition to trapping you can also enjoy some excellent late-season salmon
and brook trout fishing, grouse hunting, and coyote hunting and trapping.
