FISHING AT ROLLINS POND!


Rollins Pond is one of the many ponds that are located in the Saranac Lake area in the northern part of the Adirondack Park. It is our most favorite state camp ground. Since I took on some more serious fishing, it has been a family adventure. We usually go camping in early August when the temp. high is in the low 80's and lows at night dip into the 50's.

Type of fish: smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, northern pike, bullhead, yellow perch, sunfish, lake trout, landlocked salmon.

Watershed: Champlain

Elevation: 1,575 feet

Surface area: 445 acres

Maximum depth: 75 ft

Early morning and dusk were the best time we had any luck with largemouth bass. They are always great fighters and gave a little adrenaline rush before bedtime. The fishing stories of my brother and I are nothing to brag about at Rollins Pond but they are great past time.
