Explore the Adirondacks’ Larger Lakes with a Guided Motor Boat Fishing Trip
Some Adirondack waters are simply too big to fully experience by canoe or kayak. Our motor boat fishing trips allow anglers to safely and efficiently explore larger lakes while targeting a wide range of fish species.
With Adirondack Mountain & Stream Guide Service, you’ll fish productive structures, deep-water basins, weed beds, and shoreline habitat while learning techniques tailored to each species and season.
These trips are perfect for anglers who want to cover more water, fish deeper structures, and experience some of the Adirondacks’ most productive fisheries.
Our guided motor boat trips can target a variety of Adirondack fish species depending on the season and location:
Lake Trout
Northern Pike
Landlocked Salmon
Walleye
