2010 Adirondack trout season opens April 1

Lack of snow and warm temps should result in favorable conditions for the much anticipated trout season April 1st opener. The North Country angler usually has cold high water and snow and ice to greet them at streamside should they venture out in early April, but this year should be the opposite if things continue as they are.

Some of the better early trout streams to try are: The Boquet River in Elizabethtown, and Wadhams. Spruce Mill Brook in Lewis. The angler who chooses to fish a nightcrawler slowly across the bottom has the best chance for early season success.

The Landlocked Salmon run usually begins soon after the ice is out on Lake Champlain. The first warm rains will bring the hungry salmon into the lower sections of the Bouquet, AuSable and Saranac Rivers.
