History

Established in 1990.

Kennebec River Angler is the creation of three friends, all border-​line fishing fanatics, who have taken their time to hone their craft and are now ready to share the great fishing they have discovered. Mike, Greg and Chris have been guiding in the Kennebec River Valley for over 20 years. During that time, we’ve constantly explored the fishing potential in our area and compared them to the whole state. It didn’t take too long to decide that what we have to offer is as good, if not better, than anywhere else in the state

Our guests will benefit from our passion for the sport and the years of experience we have fishing the waters of the Upper Kennebec River Valley and the great State of Maine. We look forward to fishing with you.

Meet the Business Owner

Chris R.

Business Owner

I grew up hunting, fishing and trapping in West Gardiner, Maine, located on the lower Kennebec River. I caught my first fish, a sunfish, when I was about 4 years old with my Dad. I carried that fish around for three days, showing it to anyone who’d get near me. I remember catching my first brook trout on a fly rod when I was in eighth grade on a remote pond in the Jackman area. While attending the University of Maine at Orono in 1985, I answered an ad to become a whitewater rafting guide and fell in love with this area. After graduation I made the simple move upstream where I met my wife Cindy and I’ve been here ever since. I began guiding fisherman in 1991 as part of my full time job at Northern Outdoors. In 1998, with the help of some partners, I founded Adventure Bound, an outdoor adventure resort for youth groups. In 2008 I was able to start my own fishing guide service while waiting for Mike and Greg to get in the right position for us to start Kennebec River Angler.
