Saratoga Springs has a fish with your name on it, so let Ziehnert Guide Service help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Drew can tell you all about them.
These waters are known for Lake Trout, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Walleye, Yellow Perch, Smallmouth Bass, Crappie, and more – with any luck, you’ll have tight lines in no time.
Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Your day begins aboard a 22’ Nitro angler boat with space for 5 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you’ll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It’s never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Lunch is provided, just reach out to learn more, especially if you have any dietary needs.
Now’s the time to experience fishing in Saratoga Springs for yourself, with Ziehnert Guide Service LLC!

Half Day Trip - Lake George
Captain Drew was amazingly knowledgeable and had the most up to date technology in regards to radar. He was literally telling my son and his buddies when the fish would hit the line. The boys caught some monster Lake Trout today! Great memories for sure, thank you Captain Drew! Eric A Faulkner

Half Day Trip - Lake George
I took my son and his best friend to a fishing trip to Lake George. Captain Drew was already waiting for us on the dock. He has a beautiful, all decked out bass boat. The boys were amazed by all the bells and whistles. Our first stop was a perch spot. We caught a bunch. Then we went further into the lake and stopped for bass. Our last stop was a trout spot. Captain Drew was extremely knowledgeable about the area and named the mountains for us, mentioned a brief history. The best part of the trip was how he taught the boys and myself to new fishing techniques. He showed us how to catch bass and trout and even shared his Canadian secret formula ;) Overall this was an unforgettable trip. The boys were talking about it all the way home to Connecticut. We are looking forward to book a charter with our favorite Captain Drew and anyone else looking to book a fishing trip, don’t hesitate. Book it right away! Thank you Captain! Warmly, Szilvia, Hunter and Gavin
