The Adirondack Lakes area features many beautiful lakes, nine major rivers, and miles of brooks and streams.  This area provides a multitude of fishing opportunities for trout, salmon, bass, northern pike, walleye, and more.  Use a boat and slowly troll the depths for Lake Trout and Landlocked Salmon; fly-fish for Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout; Bassfish several methods; or just cast for Walleye and Northern Pike.

Adirondack Trout Fishing

The size range of adult Adirondack rainbow trout is from 12 to 28 inches and 1 to 9 pounds. Brook trout thrive in cold, clean waters and adults range in size from 10 to 20 inches and ½ to 5 pounds. The brook trout is an excellent food and game fish and is native to Adirondack waters. The brown trout prefers warmer temperatures and slower moving water than either the brookie or the rainbow. This species can grow to 18 inches in some of the Adirondack Lakes. Eagle Lake in Ticonderoga is an example of a premier brown trout lake in the region.
