Ice fishing in the Adirondacks offers a truly unique way to experience the winter wilderness, combining solitude, adventure, and the opportunity to pursue a wide variety of cold-water species. At Adirondack Mountain & Stream Guide Service, our guided ice fishing trips are designed for anglers of all experience levels, from first-timers looking to learn the basics to seasoned fishermen chasing trophy fish beneath the ice.
Throughout the winter season, our guides target a diverse mix of species including Lake Trout, Northern Pike, Walleye, Yellow Perch, Rainbow Trout, and Bass. Depending on conditions and angler goals, trips may focus on jigging deep water for lake trout, setting tip-ups for aggressive northern pike, or working productive flats and drop-offs for walleye and perch. Rainbow trout and bass round out the experience, offering fast action and variety on many Adirondack waters.
Safety and comfort are always a top priority. Our guides monitor ice conditions closely and provide all necessary equipment, including ice rods, tackle, bait, electronics, and heated ice shanties when conditions call for it. Guests can expect a well-organized day on the ice, with instruction on techniques, fish behavior, and local waters, as well as help with drilling holes, setting lines, landing fish, and handling the catch.
Trips are available as half-day or full-day outings and can be tailored to individuals, families, or groups. Whether you’re chasing a trophy fish or simply looking to enjoy a memorable winter day outdoors, our ice fishing trips deliver a safe, comfortable, and authentic Adirondack hardwater experience.
One of the greatest joys of fishing in the Adirondacks is the ability to escape into remote ponds and lakes, far from crowds, where the only sounds are the wind in the trees and the splash of a rising trout. There’s nothing quite like hiking into a secluded backcountry pond with an ultra-light canoe and casting for wild, native Adirondack trout, whether you're using a fly rod or spinning gear.
The best trout fishing in the Adirondacks typically runs from late April through early June, when the waters are cool, and the fish are most active. If you’re looking for a true wilderness fishing adventure, contact us to plan your personalized backcountry fishing trip!
