Just 20 miles north of the shop in Bingham, you will find Maine's (and arguably New England's!) finest trophy "Tailwater" (i.e., Wyman Dam) and one of the only (and unquestionably the strongest!) "Wild" Rainbow Trout fisheries found in the state.

Wade-In access in this section of river is decent and can be found at the Dam, the Powerlines just below the dam on the west shore, off the mouth of Austin Stream and off the abandon Railroad Tracks (now a bike path) just south of the old Gadabout Gaddis Airport.

Please note that wading can be difficult and sometimes dangerous in this section of river due to the frequent and unpredictable (if you are not familiar with the release schedule) dam releases as well as the loose "marble-sized" gravel bottom and slippery rocks.

Bingham is also a very popular Float Trip section with over 3 miles of riffles, runs and braided channels which terminate in the Solon Deadwater above Carratunk Falls which if hit at the right time can offer outstanding dry fly fishing in a "Pond Like" setting.

With heavy pressure from bait anglers, illegal dredging of the primary spawning tributary (Austin Stream), and radical fluctuations in the water levels, this section continues to produce trophy Salmonids. Just imagine what we would have if we provided it with some protection!
