🎣 Trophy Pike & Adirondack Fishing Adventures – Aaron's Guide Service
Fish the legendary waters of the Adirondacks with Captain Aaron Gaza of Aaron's Guide Service, one of the premier fishing charters in the region. I spend nearly 300 days each year on the ice and water, guiding anglers across some of the most productive lakes in the Adirondack Park.
Our home water is Great Sacandaga Lake, a world-class Northern Pike fishery that still holds the United States record Northern Pike. Every season we target and catch giant Pike over 30–40 inches, giving anglers a real opportunity to land the fish of a lifetime. PLEASE NOTE WE ONLY RUN THESE TROPHY PIKE TRIPS FROM MAY 1ST TO JUNE 15TH AND SEPTEMBER 1ST-NOVEMBER 15TH ON SACANDAGA. OTHERWISE IT IS A MULTISPECIES TRIP DURING THE SUMMER.
While trophy Pike are our specialty, we also offer multi-species trips targeting Walleye, Bass, Perch, and panfish throughout the Adirondacks depending on the season and conditions.
Aaron's Guide Service runs hundreds of trips each year and has built a reputation as one of the premier fishing guide operations in the Adirondacks, welcoming anglers of all skill levels—from beginners to serious trophy hunters.
🛥️ Everything is provided — rods, reels, tackle, and safety gear. Just bring your New York fishing license and get ready to fish.
🎯 Target Species
• Trophy Northern Pike
• Walleye
• Bass
• Perch & Panfish
Whether it's open water or ice fishing, Aaron's Guide Service delivers unforgettable fishing adventures in the Adirondacks.

4 Hour Trip – Multi Species on August 20, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child
We’ve been on a lot of boats, but have rarely have ever had an experience like we did with Aaron. First of all his communication going into the trip was great. The weather wasn’t looking good, but he kept us informed so that we would feel comfortable about making a decision. We ended up going out And my kids had an unbelievable time. He put us right on the fish and we hauled out a ton. He also taught the kids a lot about how to catch and bring in each species. He was paying attention every time they had something on the line or if their lines weren’t tight or if they weren’t on the bottom. If a line snapped or we needed to rebait he was all over it. He took care of everything on the boat, including filleting the fish. Really feel lucky that we ended up finding him!
