Fly Fish the Adirondacks Guide Service is a professional independent guide service that offers wading fly fishing trips on the West Branch of the
Ausable, Saranac, Salmon, Raquette, Chateaugay, St.Regis,smaller waters off the beaten path and back country brooks and fly fishing or light spin fishing on lakes
and still water impoundments.
All trips are lead by Richard Garfield, this service is based upon one guide, operator and owner. This is a one man show!!!!!!
I offer a personalized service based on a lifetime of fly fishing in the Northern Adirondack Region, there are no substitutes for local
knowledge of season, lay of terrain and water. During the course of a guided trip I will be an instructing guide, covering casting, reading the
water, line control, presentation, insect identification, knots and more. To insure quality fishing for all, I promote a catch and
release only policy.

Your trip can be a pleasurable short walk to the water, long hikes to remote spots or fish from a canoe or boat. You can tailor the
trip to meet your goals and objectives. My goal is to lead the best trip possible based upon water conditions, weather and time of
the season. I can not , however, make the fish feed or control the weather...still working on this, my business partner
Mother Nature has the final say to the outcome of the day .
The duration of your trip can be a 4 hour half day, 8 hour full day or tailor your trip to a time frame in which you would like to operate.

BASS AND OTHER WARM WATERS FISHES:
Bass season opens 3rd Saturday of June, the best fishing can be found right from the start of the season thru mid October,
when trout angling becomes difficult due to warm waters, angling for warm water fish is excellent.
FFTA will offer spin fishing and fly fishing for warm water fishes.
