Scott Stevens

Scott Stevens grew up in Lake Luzerne, and spent much of his childhood in the outdoors, hiking, camping and fishing. After spending four years at SUNY Oswego in Central New York, he couldn't wait to get back to the Adirondack Mountains! Currently living in Hudson Falls, a day in the woods is only a short drive away, and is always enticing at the end of the work week.

Scott began his quest to climb all 46 of the Adirondack high-peaks last summer, and will continue climbing this summer, and future summers, until he reaches this goal. He also truly enjoys trout fishing, and with the countless rivers, streams and ponds in the Adirondacks, who doesn't?

Read his blog as he explores the Adirondack Mountains on day hikes, over-night outings, and fishing trips this summer. He vows to keep you in the loop as he updates his gear, plans his trips, and hits the woods! Please, feel free to comment and share posts - as he does have some experience, there is always more to learn!

I learned at a pretty young age that it is dangerous to assume that you will catch fish every time you try. However, this is pretty easy for me to forget, I haven't been skunked in a while on the spinning rod. Yesterday when I headed to the Mettawee River in Granville with a few friends I wasn't even planning on getting a bite, just looking to work on my casting and fly presentation as this was my first time on the water with my new fly rod.

I am going to head back over to the Mettawee River in Granville since I had some pretty good luck there two weeks ago. I have a few questions that you might be able to help me with though...

I have a feeling that this summer I am going to spend most of my disposable income on outdoor gear. This means I will be doing a lot of searching and researching to find the best quality goods for the right price. I will keep you informed on what I am looking to purchase, and will review each new product here. So that you, my faithful audience, can offer your own expertise, or use some of my research and field-testing to guide your own purchasing decisions.

I have been using the same fishing gear for years now, a 6ft. Berkley rod, Abu-Garcia spinning reel, and 6lb. Stren Monofilament (clear blue). I usually use Eagle Claw snelled hooks and Canadian Nightcrawlers for trout, and any number of lures/artificial bait for bass. After fishing the same waters the same ways for years, I need a new challenge.

Let's get one thing straight, any type of trout fishing can be a bit of a challenge. With all of the rain and flooding this spring, it has become even more difficult throughout the Adirondacks.This time of year, any of the countless lakes and ponds can offer a more enjoyable fishing experience than streams and rivers, as they are not affected as much by high water levels.
