Lake Placid Fishing

With over 3,000 lakes and ponds and 6,000 miles of rivers, fishing is a year-round sport in the Adirondacks. If you're staying in a Lake Placid hotel, both Mirror Lake and Lake Placid have excellent fishing for rainbow and lake trout, bass and panfish. Fly fishermen, head to Wilmington, NY where you'll find six and a half miles of the Ausable River's deep pools which are designated as catch and release waters.

Just up the road you'll find the Saranac chain of lakes which have long been a destination for Adirondack kayaking and canoeing as well as for those looking for that elusive giant catch. Or head to the Adirondack Coast of Lake Champlain - as the 6th largest freshwater lake in the U.S., it's nothing less than a fishing mecca, with angling options that include large and smallmouth bass, trout, salmon, walleye, pike, perch, panfish and sunfish.
