Morning Mist Charters
There is a specific kind of magic that happens on the water in the Adirondacks. It's the silence of a Saranac Lake sunrise, the call of a loon, and the sudden, heart-stopping hit of a pike right next to the boat.
Based out of the Saranac Lake and Lake Placid area, we provide a premier guide service tailored for all ages and skill levels. Whether you are a family looking to create lifelong memories or a seasoned angler hunting a personal best, we
have the local expertise to make it happen. This region boasts some of the finest freshwater fishing in the country and we can't wait to share the boat with you.
Beyond the High Peaks: St. Lawrence Musky
For those who crave the ultimate freshwater challenge, we head to the legendary St. Lawrence River. These big-water trips are designed for anglers who want to go toe-to-toe with the most elusive and powerful predator in the water.

I had an excellent experience fishing with Morning Mist Charters. I went out for a pike fishing trip and everything was top notch from start to finish. He was on time, well prepared, and had all the gear ready to go so I could start fishing right away. What really stood out to me was that he never made me feel rushed. He took the time to make sure I was enjoying the experience and even stayed out longer than originally planned. He was also very flexible with scheduling, which made the whole trip easy and stress free. You can tell he knows the water extremely well and has a lot of knowledge about fishing and fish behavior. He was professional, patient, and easy to get along with the entire trip. He also did a great job explaining techniques and making sure I was comfortable and enjoying myself throughout the day. The boat and equipment were clean, organized, and well maintained, and overall the trip felt very safe and professionally run. Communication before the trip was excellent, and he made everything simple and straightforward from booking to the day on the water. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about giving people a great experience, not just getting through the trip quickly. I felt like I was fishing with someone who is passionate about what he does and takes pride in providing a quality experience for his clients. I would highly recommend Morning Mist Charters to anyone looking for a great fishing guide experience, whether you’re experienced or just getting started. The trip was well worth it, and I would definitely book another trip with him again.

thanks for the thoughtful review Jason! I had such a good time chatting and fishing together. see you next time!

We were in Lake Placid for a wedding and decided to get on some bass beforehand. Despite the rainy morning, Matt was able to get us on some nice smallmouth and largemouth. We had an absolute blast hanging out with Matt and catching some nice fish. He was super quick with communication and is full of knowledge of the lakes in the Adirondacks. Would love to make it back out on the water with Matt in the future!

thanks for a great time guys! hope to see you again next year!!

I cannot recommend this experience enough. From start to finish, our half-day fishing trip exceeded every expectation. Matt was an outstanding guide — patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He made the entire experience fun and accessible, whether you are a seasoned fisherman or a complete beginner. We will absolutely be back.

thank you, Jordan!
i booked this trip for my finace and mom to enjoy some time as a family. they had nothing but good things to say about the scenery, fish, equipment and most importantly, Matt. When we return to lake placid we will definitely be booking with Matt again!

thanks for the awesome review! what a great day we had, hope to see you again next year!
We went out for a morning bite with captain Matt and had a great experience. He was super professional and we were consistently catching fish. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for fishing in the Adirondacks!

thanks Nick! pleasure sharing the boat with you!

I am doing this because I truly love it. I am out there every day even when I don't have trips, it's what I want to be doing. I'm a musky fanatic and spend more time than almost anyone chasing them and learning about them. The Saranac lake area is home for me, I've spent countless time exploring so that your trips can be exceptional and you can expect trips full of action and fish in the net. Every trip out we are going for the biggest fish in the lake! Everytime you fish with Captain Matt you will leave a better angler and have learned something you can take home.
