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.
