NORTHEAST ADIRONDACKS, CHAMPLAIN VALLEY

All across the Northern Adirondacks from Tupper Lake to Lake Champlain the fishing action is quiet. All the trout and salmon stockings have been completed, and everyone is waiting for the water to warm enough for the fish to bite.  The same is true for northern pike and tigers; they are all stressed out from spawning and the cold water they too, are quiet.

The Outfitter Plus Sports Shop in Dannemora has all the fishing supplies needed for a summer full of fun, stop in and stock up.  If wildlife art in the form of animal mounts is for you, stop in at North Country Taxidermy on Main Street, Keene, NY. The mounts and other wildlife art displayed here will astound you. Stop in soon.
