Saranac Lake, NY, United States

Looking to catch some fish in Saranac Lake? That's what Todd's Guide Service is here for! Your guide for the day is Captain Todd, offering years of local experience.

Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Yellow Perch, and more can be found in these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year. Todd's Guide Service prefers catch and release, however fish may be kept in accordance with NYS regulations.  Fish cleaning is not provided.

On the day of your trip you're likely to cast or troll depending on the target species and the time of year.

You'll step aboard a 18' Lund aluminum fishing boat that holds up to 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. The boat is equipped with Lowrance electronics including traditional sonar, down scan, side scan and forward facing sonar.

Rods and reels are provided, but feel free to bring your own if that's what you prefer.

Before coming aboard, all guests 16 years or older must have a New York State fishing license. The Captain cannot sell you a fishing license, please get one from any tackle shop.

Don't leave home without a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and a camera. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Saranac Lake for yourself, with Todd's Guide Service!

Captain Todd gave us an enjoyable day. He was prompt, helpful and very knowledgeable. His boat was well equipped with fish-finding gear, quality rods and tackle. He helped my wife when necessary to handle things like snags and landing fish. I will use him again in the future.

Thank you, Thomas, for the kind words. It was great fishing with you guys. It was extra special helping you catch that nice birthday northern pike on light spinning tackle without a steel leader. I look forward to fishing with you again.

Todd was a great captain and guide. My 10 Year old son and I went for an 8 hour bass and pike trip. We had a great time, caught a few fish, and learned a few new tips and tricks. Todd was easy going and did a great job encouraging my son to continue following his passion for fishing. I’d highly recommend him to others
