Why Choose Maineiac Outfitter?
Chris says:
"Only great things to say about my experiences with TJ and Maniac Outfitters. Floated the East outlet west branch a few times with him and had fantastic experiences in both low and high water conditions we put a lot of fish in the boat. We just came off floating west branch and caught 66 in two days(6/30/23) including 3lb salmon on a dry and bunch of good fish using all methods, swinging streamers , drys , wets and nymphing. I’m an inexperienced fly fisherman and the instructions, tips and lessons we received translated into a lot more fish. Very safe , knowledgeable and has a desire for you as a fisherman to have great experience on the water. Highly recommended! You’re going to be put in a great position for success. Great food, fellowship and fly fishing experience, and love the guides he works with when we have a larger group go together. Tj will work hard for you."

"Maineiac Outfitter is a fantastic guide service! I’ve fished with TJ three times now and have had an awesome experience every time. TJ is very patient and knowledgeable which is great for people with different levels of fly fishing. Not only does he supply all the gear, but he provides you with knowledge and confidence to carry with you on future trips. Worth every penny, I will continue to use Maineiac in the future!"

"2 great old friends a 3 new ones went on a 5 day adventure to canoe and fish the Allagash waterway with Tj and his son.
An absolutely amazing experience all the way around.
Tj has a deep routed passion for what he does, the North Maine Woods and the Allagash and it shows in everything he does.
From being an excellent teacher of canoe craft to showing new fly fishermen to cast, how to tie proper knots and fly selection, to being a pro Tetras player packing canoes, to the food he prepares shows his passion.
The food.... Nobody goes hungry and its delicious.
His knowledge of the history of the Allagash and the writers of old who told of their adventures is amazing and captivating.
This is the second trip ive done with Tj and ill be going again. Though this was the first to the Allagash.
Id highly recommend him if an adventure like this is something you would like to do."

"Just finished an incredible 5 day trip with Maineiac Outfitters canoeing the Allagash Wilderness Water way in the North Maine Woods. Being a Registered Maine Guide myself I was very impressed with TJ's experience and knowledge of the Allagash, I always felt like I was in good hands and felt extremely comfortable with his leadership.The communication leading up to the trip was excellent and covered all of the details of the trip including meals, what to bring and what not to bring.
If you're considering a trip canoeing the Allagash I highly recommend TJ and Maineiac outfitters."

"We cannot recommend Maineiac Outfitter enough. TJ was an extremely knowledgeable and accommodating guide. In addition to his wealth of knowledge, he was endlessly patient and helpful. I can’t imagine a better guide to de-mystify fly fishing and help you catch more fish. Being fly fishing novices, we didn’t hope to catch many fish, but boy were we wrong! TJ helped us with our technique, and in no time we were catching tons of fish. What’s more, over the next few days we were able to use what we learned, and the fish kept coming! If you are looking for a great way to experience Maine fly fishing, we highly recommend Maineiac Outfitter."

"What an amazing experience. We had so much fun, chilling and fishing. Tj was an amazing guide and hooked me up on the biggest rainbow of the year. I did everything exactly like he told me to and BAM fish. Listen to your guide. He really knows his stuff. He’s an amazing person and was really fun to talk to as well. My bf and I both have fly fishing knowledge so it was a relaxed trip and we tried some other techniques including dry fly and nymphing. So interesting to learn and watch a pro. He hooked my boyfriend up on a big bow too with his nymphing technique. It was so cool to see that eat. Plus a couple dry fly hits! What an awesome day on the water. Couldn’t have asked for anything better! Thank you maniac outfitters and our amazing guide tj!"
Tom says:
"We had a great time with TJ as our guide. We did 2 days. One was a float trip and the other was wading. We caught fish both days and will be calling him next year to do it again! Thanks TJ!"
Megan says:
"Had a blast out on the water with TJ for three days. He introduced us to a variety of places -- all fly fishing -- and was knowledgable, engaging, and worked hard from early morning to late at night. Highly recommend a trip with him -- he was great with my husband and me, and he'd be great with younger kiddos too. An excellent few days and can't wait to be back in Maine, hopefully soon, with TBFlies!"
Michael says:
"TJ is great. Hired him for a bachelor party and we had a great time. He and Brad French worked unbelievable hard to put us on fish and they succeeded. Caught some of the most beautiful brook trout I have ever
seen."
