Tag Out in the Woods and Catch Trophy Salmon and Stripers

During your stay at Country Haven Lodge & Cottages - whether you’re still bear hunting or have already tagged out — you can also enjoy world-class Atlantic Salmon fishing and target the thriving Striped Bass run right in our estuary. Spring bear season coincides perfectly with the annual Striped Bass migration, when millions of fish move in to spawn, including trophy fish that reach 40 inches or more. Spend your mornings on the water and your evenings in the stand. Harvest a bear and then hook into dozens — even hundreds — of Striped Bass, all in one unforgettable trip. Or in the fall, tag a memorable moose and then land a prized Atlantic Salmon on the fly, all in the same trip.
