Ziehnert Guide Service LLC

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!
