Carp have inhabited the St. Lawrence River in the past century but are now becoming of interest from the European anglers. St. Lawrence River offers the world's best carp fishing, and has been proposed for a future site of the World Carp Fishing tournament. An angler might achieve 10 or more carp a day weighing from 30 to 40 pounds. Carp is a 100 catch and release experience; but what a work out! Enjoy the river from Ogdensburg to Massena, or take one of our guides along.
The St. Lawrence offers great Muskie fishing as well. It produced the world-record catch by Art Lawton (1957) weighing in at 69 lbs and 16 oz.

The top sixteen ranked lakes for Lake Trout are: Blue Mountain Lake, Chazy Lake, Eight Lake, Indian Lake, Lake Eaton, Lake Lila, Lake Placid, Paradox Lake, Piseco Lake, Raquette Lake, Schroon Lake, Seventh Lake, Taylor Pond, Tupper Lake, Upper Saranac Lake, Upper Chateaugay Lake. Good time to catch 'brookies' are when our waters are 48 to 52 degree range, in the spring. Watch for drop offs, points or rocky shoals. Summer time, the lake trout go deep; and in autumn, they head to the rocky shoals for spawning.
|
Wilderness Brook Trout
The best brook trout fishing occurs spring & autumn with water temps are cool. They are easy to find because they inhabit waters close to the shoreline.
10 tips for wilderness ventures. 1) Study maps and guides before venturing out; 2) Develop your wilderness skills by taking short trips first; 3) Engage in a fitness program such as walking several miles a day; 4) Check short & long range weather forecast before heading out; 5) Inform someone of your planned route and return time; 6) SIGN IN at all trail registers; 7) Carry a map, compass and basic survival gear; 8) Beware of giardia, carry your water or use a filtering system; 9) Travel as lightly as possible; and 10) Travel with a companion. If you get lost, stay PUT!
