ST. LAWRENCE
RIVER VALLEY - OGDENSBURG - MASSENA
St. Lawrence
is the largest County in the state, area wise, and has all the
fish and game to offer that any one could ever want. When I think
of St. Lawrence County, I tend to divide it into different
categories or zones. If I want to do some bass, pike, walleye, or
musky angling, I drift toward the eastern section of the county to
such places as The St. Lawrence River itself, or to some of the
smaller waters in this area, such as the many inland lakes. Indian
River Lakes are a sure bet, with Black Lake the only of these to
harbor musky. Or the many rivers that essentially feed the St.
Lawrence River. Of these, my choices would be The Oswegatchie, St.
Regis, and Grass River’s; again, more in the eastern portion of
the county where all of the above listed game fish can be found.
This section is basically the St. Lawrence River Valley. A hot
tip?
As of late
May they are still pounding the walleye from boat and shore in The
Oswegatchie River at and upstream from the rivers’ end where it
flows into The St. Lawrence River. Rapalas and minnows are the
ticket here. Shhh... In this area, visit Hank Bouchard of St.
Lawrence Sports on Ford St. in Ogdensburg. He can and will outfit
all your angling and hunting needs and he has a lifetime knowledge
of the entire county to help steer the visitor in the right
direction.
The western
and northern section of the county is the North-Western Adirondack
mountains in NY State and I tend to think of trout fishing in this
area. There are many lakes, ponds, rivers and streams alike to
fish here for brookies, rainbows, browns and even landlocked
salmon. Cranberry Lake and surrounding waters are prevalent with
these trout, but not the salmon. The lake itself is currently
being stocked heavily with trout, but is also a great place to
catch trophy smallmouth bass and pike For these and the landlocked
salmon, try further north and east into Hamilton, Herkimer, and
Franklin Counties where such renowned places as The Fulton Chain
Lakes, The Ausable River, and Long and Tupper Lake are the hot
spots. Most of these waters harbor bass, walleye, and pike in
addition to the trout and salmon with the exception of The Ausable
which is famed primarily for it’s trout angling. This year The
Tupper Lake Chamber of Commerce is pushing for a B.A.S.S.
tournament and the NY Fish & Game Monthly is currently working on
becoming a sponsor for the event. Keep your eyes open for this
one. In the Cranberry Lake area, the sure bet for outfitting is
The Emporium on Cranberry’s NYS Rt. 3 where Bill LaFrance has
tackle, bait, gear, rentals, and even boat taxis to take you
anywhere you want to be on the lake. Located in the same building
is a local guide that can produce what the angler is searching
for. This is one of my favorite areas and it is the heart of the
adirondacks.
