 Dear Friends,
Welcome to Rideout’s! You have just discovered the ideal source for outstanding Maine fishing
and delightful vacations. Rideout's Lakeside Lodge is an authentic, family-operated
Maine fishing lodge
located on East Grand Lake near the Canada border. We've been nationally recognized for our exceptional fishing for smallmouth bass
,
landlocked salmon
and lake trout
.
We are also known as “the Sporting Camp for family fun” because of our clean, comfortable
Maine cabin rentals, and our emphasis on other outdoor recreation such as
boating and
wildlife viewing.
Whether you’re looking for an authentic Maine fishing lodge with rustic rental cabins, or an affordable, outdoor
family vacation, you'll experience the best of the Maine North Woods here at Rideout's on East Grand Lake.
 East Grand Lake Offers the Best Maine Bass & Salmon Fishing
Crystal-clear, 22-mile-long East Grand Lake, one of the largest unspoiled lakes in Maine, lies nestled in the beautiful forests of the Maine North Woods. This pristine natural setting helps our fish grow and flourish. In recent years, anglers have caught trophy-sized landlocked salmon (over 8 pounds!) in
East Grand Lake, and a recent national magazine confirmed that “you can catch 100 smallmouth bass a day” here under ideal conditions. We also have excellent lake trout fishing.
Over the years, Rideout’s has been featured in several national magazines, including Field and Stream and North American Fisherman, which have praised us for our quality Maine fishing and comfortable cabin accommodations. So if you're looking for a great fishing vacation at a
traditional Maine fishing lodge, Rideout's is your destination.
 Rideout's
Rental Cabins
We know how important comfortable accommodations are for vacation pleasure. Rideout's features 20 clean, fully equipped, knotty-pine
Maine cabin rentals
. Our spacious cabins are situated on wooded lots with pleasing views of East Grand Lake. All cabins have electricity, automatic heat, full bath with shower or tub and flush toilets. Beds are firm and comfortable, and most are doubles. Most cabins have large, screened porches and sleep up to six. For your convenience, we offer several different lodging plans to suit every taste and budget, including our Housekeeping Plan (cabin rentals with kitchens) and our
American Plan (full-service meals-and-lodging packages).
Our Guests Return - Year After Year
Since 1947, we have worked hard to maintain an atmosphere that combines warm friendliness and relaxation, in a Maine fishing lodge environment. We are proud and honored that many Rideout's guests have returned year after year -- some for several generations! And, our new guests often remark that we make them feel "like family."

East Grand Lake Fishing Conditions
Update as of 6/15/08: The bass spawn is at it's peak and the bass are
on their beds. Several customers have reported catching up to 50 bass
a day while bed fishing. In addition to large numbers, guests have
also reported bass of decent size - some over 4 pounds. Lures of
choice for bed fishing include white grubs, white tube baits, green pumpkin
salamanders and Zoom flukes. Bass fishermen are also catching large
numbers of bass fishing "blind" off of points and islands in water as
shallow as 2 feet. Our lake trout are extremely active and it has
turned out to be a banner year for togue so far. One of our guides has
been routinely catching up to 7 large lake trout a day up to 15
pounds. These fish are feisty and full-bodied. Salmon fishermen
are currently catching fish at the 10 to 40 foot level with downriggers and
lead core line. Some salmon fishermen have also reported
catching large fish on the surface. Lures of choice include the orange
and copper Speedy Shiner, copper Mooselook Wobbler, and small live shiners
(available at the Lodge). As always, some brook trout, up to 18
inches, are being taken in the back of Dark Cove, Davenport Cove and and
Sucker Brook Cove. Caught at daybreak in the morning, these make nice
breakfast fare.
