1. Services Provided

Bear Brook Guide Service offers guided fishing trips and outdoor experiences in the state of Maine. All trips are subject to availability, weather conditions, and applicable state regulations.

• All trips must be reserved in advance.
   

• A deposit may be required to secure your booking.

3. Cancellation Policy

50% deposit is required to reserve your trip. Deposit is non-refundable, however we understand that emergencies happen and we may be able to work with you to reschedule if possible. If you must cancel your trip due to unforeseen circumstances please call or email us at least 48 hours in advance to cancel. Although we do fish in the rain and cold, for safety reasons if at any time your Guide makes the determination that wind/weather conditions are not safe to go out, or while out on the water your Guide determines that weather has become unsafe and must end the trip early, we will try to reschedule your trip, and will work with you in every way we can to accommodate you.
