Registered Maine Guide · 35+ years

Jason Thibodeau

Jason has more than 35 years of hunting and fishing experience and lives for time in the woods and on the water. He specialises in big-game hunts, still-hunting and tracking deer, moose and bear, and guides canoe float trips on the legendary Kennebec River for the trout and salmon “Grand Slam” or high-action smallmouth bass.

He is most at home deep in remote country, where patience, woodsmanship and hard-earned experience make all the difference, and he brings a calm, confident approach and a deep respect for the outdoors to every trip.

Tony Thibodeau

Tony has more than 30 years of experience on Maine’s woods and waters, from rivers and lakes in search of native trout and salmon to tracking whitetail deer through the rugged cover of the Kennebec Valley. He has spent decades learning Maine’s shifting seasons and game behaviour.

Beyond the outdoors, he brings eight years in the Army Reserve and a 15-year career as a firefighter and paramedic to every trip.

In Our Clients’ Words

What Clients Say About Our Guides

Jay is very professional, nonjudgmental, dedicated and pretty funny! I’m sure he was thrilled to see two old guys that he was going to be stuck with for a week!

John MGuided deer hunt with Jason

We learned so much from Tony on ice fishing, the questions we had were all answered throughout the trip, catching fish seemed like a bonus. Tony has a vast knowledge of all the ponds and lakes in the area where we wanted to fish.

Dean MGuided lake fishing with Tony

We had the best time ice fishing for the first time and Tony was amazing! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We can’t wait to book him again to learn how to fly fish!

Lisa KGuided ice fishing with Tony

Anything you could want or ask for on a fishing expedition Tony delivered: on time, proper equipment, correct supplies, excellent service… In a sentence: look no further!
