He is knowledgeable about some of the greatest fishing areas in the world and makes sure people have a fun time and are enjoying themselves and comfortable at all time. His rates are phenomenal but what really makes this worth it is his commitment to service which is unparalleled by any other fishing service. Captain Pete has great, organized trips for everyone from inexperienced fishermen, children, and families to the most hardcore fishermen out there. While I'm not a true fishing fanatic like Pete is I do appreciate a good time when I have one and Captain Pete goes above and beyond to share his passion with anyone young and old. I would highly recommend his services to EVERYONE.

I grew up in the Moosehead area and know it very well. I used to see moose about every 10 feet as a…read morekid. Between what I believe to be overhunting of the moose (I am not a anti-hunt person) and diseases they have suffered such as so many of the young ones dying recently of ticks, they are far and few between. I took my Granddaughter on her first trip to Maine this past July. I knew we had a very short time there and moose were very scarce. Although I knew the area well, I had not been back to Maine in sometime. I knew the best opportunity for my granddaughter to see a moose would be a person who is very experienced in finding them, as well as being out there each and every day. I certainly chose the best guide in Amber of Moosehead area guide service. Her knowledge of the Maine woods, the Moosehead area and of the moose themselves was incredible. We had been out for a while and not seen a moose. She told my granddaughter that she had to get out of the car and do the Moose dance if she wanted to see a moose. Amber looked at me and whispered, I can see she is getting a little sleepy as we started at 4:30 AM in the morning. I thought this would give her a good break. Amber did teach the most dance. It was so funny because minutes after she taught my granddaughter how to do the Moose dance we came upon a beautiful moose. My granddaughter was so excited and I was so happy we had such a knowledgeable, kind, and sweet person as Amber. If you ever get to Maine and want to see a moose, I highly recommend booking your trip with Moosehead area, guide service and Amber. Maybe she will even teach you the most dance.

He goes beyond anyone I know to explain in a detail and in a respectful way how moose live in nature to include their habitat, diet, temperament, physical features, mating season, difference between male and female moose, behavior etc. I could go on and on but you HAVE to experience this yourself! I just took my 12 yo grdson on a tour the end of July. He said it was better than Christmas! This was my 2nd time with Harold where I had taken another grdson. Both experiences unexplainable and wonderful! A memory they'll treasure forever! Call today and book a tour! You'll be so happy you did to see and learn about these amazing, magnificent animals!

We were in two rafts - Mike and Garrett were our guides. We argued after the trip who had the better guide - both were very knowledgeable, patient, and fun. I was particularly grateful to Mike for the attention he gave my daughter - who wasn't all that sure about fishing! He made sure that she caught some fish, and helped her with how and where to cast to find fish. We shared a good laugh when a fish slipped out of her hands, right into her sweater pocket!! A great day on the Kennebec - we will definitely be back!!

We also highly recommend local fishing guides: Sue, Billy, Randy & Jessie. If you want to take your friends/family on a magical vacation - you must come to Leen's!

And "I don't think you can get there from here" was heard by another. There's no quick way to Leen's Lodge. Ok, there is a floatplane that gets you there quickly from Bangor. But you have to get yourself to Bangor, first. Driving it's two hours from the airport. But it is worth every bit of effort to get there. Leen's Lodge is a gem on the edge pristine clear waters of West Grand Lake in the heart of the northern Maine wilderness. The lodging is rustic - it is cabins on the lake. But they are clean, quaint, and comfortable. The service and food are top-notch. The proprietors, Scott and Kris Weeks, and family, along with a few extra staff provide an experience you won't ever forget. Dinner - 5 stars. The first night I had the most amazing, perfectly seasoned, tender lamb chops with freshly baked homemade bread, wild rice, asparagus, and dessert was local blueberry pie. Other entrees included maple glazed salmon, filet mignon, and fresh Maine lobster. Breakfast - You cannot beat it. Blueberry pancakes with local maple syrup and thickly sliced bacon. My morning order "Wendy, make whatever looks good today." I was never disappointed. But you are not just coming here for the food. It's an epic outdoor experience - the quality of hunting and fishing is among the best in the world. We fished and caught as many big perch as we wanted, plenty of smallmouth bass, and even some land-locked salmon. (I won't mention that my fishing buddy hooked an eel - that did not get in the boat.) All of this with epic views while bald eagles and osprey soar overhead. The fishing guides are amazing and make the experience suitable for anyone - whether you are an accomplished angler or you've never even baited a hook, you'll find what you're looking for here. I understand the hunting is even better. When you're there, don't forget to look up at the night sky. I don't think I have ever seen the stars so bright. I am counting the days until I can return to Leen's Lodge.
