It would be almost impossible to find a more personable, knowledgeable, or harder working guide. In addition to fishing he also guides for small and big game hunting, rafting and back country ski touring. He has a fully equipped, secluded hunting lodge at the base of Blue Mountain. Blue Mountain Lake offers landlocked salmon, lake trout, largemouth and smallmouth bass. During the early season the landlocks will be scattered but the summer they are usually suspended over the deeper areas in the western part of the lake.
Smallmouth bass abound all along the rocky shorelines of the many islands.
Evenings are an especially good time to cast crankbaits or use live bait for bass. My friends Bing and Laura Faxon who operate Potter's offer a wide variety of delicious items all served in the atmosphere reminiscent of one of the Adirondack Great Camps. They also have motel and cottages right on the shores of the lake for relaxation amidst the splendid scenery. Blue Mountain Lake not only offers fishing and boating but you can canoe through Utowanna and Eagles Lakes and the Marion River to Raquette Lake. Blue Mountain dominates the landscape and invites hikers and climbers.
