{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Bar Harbor

To be honest, it kind of depends on what your looking for.  I was up there last August for a few days with my wife.  To be blunt, there is a lot of freaking water to try and research for only a day or two.  Your best bet is hiring a guide for the salt, or if your feeling adventurous, pick one pond/hiking trail with a pond and try and fish it well.  Some of the ponds in the park have trout, some have smallmouth, some have other species.  If you have a kayak or small boat, you may have some luck in some of the ponds, some of which are easily accessible.  All of the publicly accessible beaches that are easy to get to will be filled with people and almost impossible to fish though so you will need the boat if you go to one of the easy to reach places.  Check out this link.  It gives some decent info on brook trout ponds.

Hi all, I'm a long-time "lurker" and appreciate all of your advice and commentary. I was wondering if anyone has fished Mt. Deseret Island or around Bar Harbor by chance, or has knowledge of the area?  I am planning a mid-August anniversary trip with the wife, so naturally am thinking about fishing opportunities. 

Knowing little of the waters there, I was thinking my best bets might be stripers (with a guide on a boat), smallies (canoe rental?), or brookies in the park - or a combination of the above!  Would definitely appreciate any thoughts from Mainiacs and/or anglers familiar with the area. Thanks!
