Small Streams...Gems of Northern New York



Wild browns and native brookies await your well delivered presentation.....
 
 

Get away from the crowded public waters and reward yourself with solitude, scenery, and native fish
 plus strains of wild fish. A trip to a small stream may not yield trophy fish, but plenty of willing fish to
provide action. During the heat of the summer, small streams generally sustain colder temperatures
due to being well shaded by foliage and the influx of many cold water springs, these combined factors
often result in midday action when the larger rivers have stopped producing action.

 


Small stream trips can range from a short walk to easy accessible waters or long hikes to less pressured
waters, the duration of the remote trips will vary from 6 hours to 10 hours or more with no split of the day.

Instruction

An on stream instructional trip can be booked for small stream tactics and skills need to properly fish
 mountain brooks and small streams. The instructional will cover fly selection, how to read and approach
the water, specialized casting techniques, equipment needed for remote fishing excursions and more.

Small streams can be rewarding by offering less fished waters, no other anglers to contended with, scenery
 and native brookies along with wild browns and rainbows.




If "size matters", this style of trip may not be for you.

Seeking solitude, beauty of surroundings and native-wild fish this trip is definitely for you.
