Toothy Season

Jun 3, 2023 Lake Placid

Water temperature has been steadily increasing which makes chasing Northern Pike a blast! We are searching shallow weedy bays for hungry Pike with many good results lately! We can also go outside of Franklin County for catch and release bass untill June 15th when the season opens fully for NYS. Book next trip soon to catch a wall hanger of a fish

FISH ON!!!

May 8, 2023 Lake Placid

We are happy to announce fishing season is in full swing! After high water conditions and cold temperatures made it hard this past few weeks, we are on to green grass and warmer days! Book your next trip soon before we fill up, a great day is only a few clicks away

Lake Trout Bite

Oct 8, 2022 Lake Placid

Trolling for Lake Trout has been very successful. Have about 2-3 more weeks left of good fishing
