Farmhouse Fish & Tackle 

If you're looking to make the most of your time fishing in Altmar, you're in good hands with Captain Alec and the Farmhouse Fish & Tackle guide team. Captain Alec leads the operation alongside experienced New York State Licensed Guides Jason and Ralph, bringing local knowledge and experience to every trip.

Depending on the season and current conditions, you may have the opportunity to target Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Brown Trout, and Rainbow Trout (Steelhead). Fishing methods vary throughout the year and may include drift fishing, spinning tackle, and fly fishing. Captain Alec and his team will determine the best approach based on current water and fishing conditions.

Kids are welcome! If you're bringing a young angler, please let us know ahead of time so the appropriate safety equipment can be available.

When conditions allow, you'll fish from a 16' Hyde drift boat equipped for a productive day on the river. Rods, reels, tackle, lures, and bait are provided as appropriate for your trip.

All anglers are responsible for obtaining the required New York State fishing license before the trip and following current fishing regulations.

We recommend bringing polarized sunglasses, non-spray sunscreen, and clothing appropriate for the weather.

Departure times and meeting locations vary throughout the season. Captain Alec or your assigned guide will provide your exact meeting location and departure time prior to your trip.

Please note: Captain Alec and the Farmhouse Fish & Tackle guide team reserve the right to determine whether a trip will be conducted by drift boat or as a bank fishing trip. This decision is based on river levels, water conditions, weather, safety, and where the team believes you'll have the best opportunity for a successful day of fishing. Fishing locations may also change based on current conditions.
