Brown Trout
Chasing brown trout in Saranac Lake offers a classic Adirondack angling experience. The Saranac River, with its varied currents and structure, is a prime location, as are the connected lakes like Upper, Middle, and Lower Saranac Lake. These waters hold wild and holdover browns, some reaching impressive sizes. Spring (late April-May) and fall (September-October) are peak seasons, when browns are most active, staging for spawning or feeding aggressively after the winter. For river fishing, focus on seams and undercut banks with streamers or nymphs. On the lakes, trolling spoons or crankbaits near drop-offs and rocky points can be productive. A local tip: Access to the Saranac River is readily available from multiple points along Route 3. Be mindful of water levels, especially in spring, as high flows can make wading difficult. The brown trout here are known for their vibrant colors and hard fight, making them a prized catch.
