About this water
The Rapid River is widely regarded as one of the finest wild brook trout and landlocked salmon fisheries in the eastern United States. This remote river flows between Lower Richardson Lake and Umbagog Lake, accessible only by boat or floatplane, ensuring light fishing pressure. The river is fly-fishing only and catch-and-release, preserving exceptional wild fish populations.
