Phippsburg

Phippsburg sits at the confluence of the Kennebec and Sheepscot Rivers on Maine's midcoast, where freshwater and tidal waters create distinct fishing opportunities within a few miles of each other. The town's geography gives you access to river systems that hold striped bass, largemouth bass, and seasonal runs of shad and alewives, plus saltwater flats and channels where you can chase flounder and sea-run fish. Whether you're working tidal rips or casting into quiet coves, Phippsburg's waters reward anglers who understand how the seasons and tides shift what bites where.
