Fly-fishing Trout In The Adirondacks on St. Regis River

Our private stretch of trout river offers the fly-fisher a variety of water types for wade fishing with nymphs, streamers or dry flies. Directly in front of the cabin is a long, wide, slow run that is perfect for floating dry flies for rainbow trout or even the occasional native brook trout. Just upstream, you will find some classic riffles, before an island that splits the river and holds a very deep, spring pool concentrating trout in the warmer months. The occasional large, glacier-strewn boulders are also present if you enjoy classic Adirondack pocket water fishing. The downstream from the spectacular Sylvan Falls.

Small cold spring rivulets flow year round into the main flow keeping water temps cool and the trout happy. The fly hatches are consistent with the usual mayfly, caddis-fly and stone-fly hatches of the Northern Slope of the Adirondacks with exceptional hatches of grannom caddis in the spring, large black stoneflies and white-flies (ephron Leukon) in the summer and Isonychias in the fall.

The Best Fisherman Gift = Fishing In the Adirondacks

Types of Adirondack Fish

Trout

Spring in the Adirondacks is the best gift for fishermen because it coincides with the beginning of Trout Season in the Adirondacks. Opening day is April 1, but there’s usually an inch or two of ice still covering most of the Adirondacks’ top fishing spots. Our advice is to begin fishing for trout in late April or early May, giving a chance for the ice to melt. Looking for gift ideas for fishermen?

Walleye

The walleye, the largest member of the perch family, is one of New York’s most valued sportfish. Some of the most productive walleye fisheries in the state can be found in and around the Adirondacks, including Tupper Lake, Union Falls Flow, Saratoga Lake, Great Sacandaga Lake, and Delta Lake.

Northern Pike

A mature pike is quickly recognized by its large size. Under favorable conditions, a northern can average 26 to 30 inches in length and weigh 8 to 9 pounds; however, anglers may periodically hook one that approaches 3 feet and weighs close to 20 pounds.
