Capt. Eric Wallace is the wizard of Maine's, shallow water Striped Bass fishing. He'll conjure up fish where they shouldn't be, slip you a magic fly they can't refuse, and if you insist, even give you a time out to gulp your lunch.

Sage Fly Rods Pro Team - We spend our lives working with fly fishing guides around the world through our hosted trips with Frontiers International. Good guides are an elite group of individuals whose greatest passion is to find fish for their clients. We all sooner or later find that certain guide that stands head and shoulder above the rest. For us, Capt. Eric Wallace is that kind of guide. We look forward to our annual Maine Striper Fishing trip, and our days with Eric on the water. He's simply one of the best.
