Fishing Packages for your full needs
Bush Country Package
This legendary and very remote section of the Ausable River harbors the largest and wildest fish in our entire watershed. It also contains the river’s most renown pools made famous in Ray Bergman’s 1952 classic book, TROUT. Due to its limited access this area is very lightly fished. The HUNGRY TROUT leases the 800 acres of private land that borders this section and offers our guests guided access directly to the shoreline of this posted and gated stretch of wonderfully remote water.
Room and Guide Package
A perfect experience for those looking for an introduction into fly fishing on the Ausable. This package includes a half day guide service on the Ausable or other area waters. Avery popular package for couples visiting the area, spend the early morning on the river while your significant other sleeps in or shops, or better yet, both of you fish and spend the rest of the day enjoying everything else the area has to offer.
Float Trip Package
Following a morning on the Ausable or a round of golf, consider an afternoon and early evening of top water fly fishing for healthy, small mouth Bass and big Northern Pike during your stay with us. Three of our guides own bass boats and specialize in fly-fishing trips to the very scenic Lower and Middle Saranac Lakes and their connecting rivers. Casting a fly to a craggy shoreline or deadfalls amid a beautiful setting sun is a memory not quickly forgotten and a wonderful way to end an active day in the Adirondacks!!

The “Learn to Fish” guided trip includes two hours of guide service for up to four people and all of the equipment they would need.
