We spent two days with Captain Ryan and Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. We caught a bunch of fish both days. The captain has a great boat and great equipment. He was also very helpful with my boys who came along and fished.  Highly recommend him.

Had an awesome day fishing Upper Saranac Lake with my dad and brothers, thanks to our guide Ryan Baker from ADK Troutfitters. Ryan’s super knowledgeable, a great teacher, and a lot of fun to fish with. We crushed it with 5 pike, a few largemouth, and tons of smallies! Don’t look any further, this is your guide!

Ryan was an excellent guide on the upper sarranac lake. Not only did we catch fish but we also gained lots of knowledge of the history and environment of the lake. Highly recommended!

First time out using a guide and first time fishing in the Adirondacks.  This was also the first real fishing trip for my youngest son. Ryan was wonderful from the start, quietly managing everything and providing helpful advice when needed but stepping back when we were making progress.  We caught around 10 bass, four quite nice sizes. Two larger ones were caught by my son, which really made his day. I highly recommend Ryan, who knows this region really well and guarantees... More

Ryan was really good with the kids and clearly enjoys taking people out fishing. We caught small mouth bass and pike all day long! We also stopped at a couple small islands and the kids were able to jump off rocks into the water. If you are looking for a fun day out on a beautiful lake or river, don’t hesitate to book it.
