Mirror Lake
Mirror Lake is best known for its Rainbow and Lake Trout. We recommend using a flashy lure or baitfish. The hatching of mayflies in the area can provide exceptional fly fishing for rainbow trout.
Ausable River
Known for some of the best fly fishing in the Adirondacks, the Ausable River is a must-visit. The river contains a large amount of pocket water, where trout are known to live. Head to the tailwaters of the Wilmington Dam for elite fly fishing. Ausable River Two Fly Shop offers fishing trips with experienced guides. The guides will introduce you to the best spots, the right flies, and the best techniques.
Boquet River
Below the dam and fishway in Willsboro are some of the best salmon fishing in the area. The flatwater section provides angling opportunities, but you can also try trolling from a small boat. For more information on regulations and directions to the Boquet River, click here.
Lake Champlain
If you are looking to fish for lake trout, head to Lake Champlain. In the summer months, trout move into deeper and colder water. Therefore, long narrow spoons and plugs are the best lures to use. For access points, regulations, and other tips for fishing Lake Champlain check out the info on the Department of Environmental Conservation.
Franklin Falls Flow
Franklin Falls Flow is a great fishing spot for walleye, smallmouth bass, and bullheads. We recommend using jibs and worms or spinners and worms in the rapid water. For directions on how to get to the Falls, click here.
