ABOUT NORTHERN WATER GUIDE

Nick, Lindsey and Ryleigh Proulx

Northern Water Guide Service is a fully insured and licensed guide service providing clients the opportunity to see what New Hampshire has to offer. Whether you’re an experienced fly fishermen seeking assistance on new water or new to fly fishing we are happy to assist you!

The founder, Nick Proulx, is a native to New Hampshire. Growing up in the Lakes Region, he was introduced to the art of fly fishing and fly tying at the age of ten. “Two decades later, my obsession for the sport continues on. I have spent countless hours on back country ponds, small streams, and larger rivers trying to study and learn as much as I can about the fish I spend so much time chasing. In 2016 I met my wife Lindsey and had the opportunity to introduce and teach her how to fly fish, it challenged my ability to catch fish without holding a fly rod. My passion for teaching and fishing progressed into obtaining my guides license and created Northern Water Guide Service.”

Nicks previous experience as a firefighter and a NH state fire instructor gives him the ability to offer practical teaching instruction on the water to new and experienced fly fishermen. He holds a state EMT license and is CPR certified.

Not only will you have a fun day on the water, but an educational one. Our package whether a half day or full day will include all flies, leaders, and any gear you may need if you’re just starting out.

 
Nick is an excellent guide. Very solid, good person, which is as important a guide criteria as knowing the technical stuff - which he’s also very good at. On our trip Nick gave just the right combination of teaching and just letting me fish. He’s a skilled teacher. Planning to book a tight line trip with him next year.

The instruction Nick provides is thorough and incredibly useful. We all felt confident on the river due to his diligent prep.
