Guide Service

Guided Fly Fishing Trips in the picturesque Finger Lakes Region 

*Area streams are low & fishing very slow. Good News, we own a Trophy Trout Pond that’s secluded in a remote beautiful setting nestled in the middle of our 22-acre forest without any house’s buildings or other people in sight. Our pond is currently fishing excellent.
Given the stream conditions we are focusing on guided trips to our Trout Pond. Our pond has been consistently providing our clients with great days of fly fishing*

See below for a current fishing report of our trout pond as of 11/8/26:
All of our clients including beginners are having multi fish days. Most of our clients are catching 10 to 20 with some catching 20 or more. There has also been a bunch of 18 to 20 inchers caught with some very nice 20 inchers.*If you want to enjoy a fabulous day of fly-fishing November is prime time at our pond. Many of the best days & biggest trout get caught this month*

*If you appreciate nature & the environment you will enjoy the beautiful rustic setting of our & big strong fighting colorful trout pond*

 *Big Brook Brown Rainbow & Tiger trout!  We  assure you that 18 to 20 inch Tiger trout are the most aggressive & strongest fighting trout you will ever catch*

*Pond trips are exclusive. When you book a day, you will not share it with any other individuals or groups. There will be an expert fly-fishing guide with you to ensure you have a great day*

*Recent 5 star review we recieved:

  *Dave gave us a refresher course that turned out to be very helpful. He had a fire going & chairs nearby on a colder day at the pond if we needed a break and even provided delicious cheese, grapes and crackers. On my first cast I caught a 18 inch tiger trout. We ended up catching over 20 trout in 4 hours. The action never slowed down. He had 8 rods pre rigged with different flies which ensured we always had a fly in the water regardless of tangles etc. and he constantly changing flies when one fly stopped working. I came away a much better fly fisher than when I arrived. This was without a doubt the highlight of our trip to the Finger Lakes. I’ll be thinking about Daves tips on future fishing adventures. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
