Trout fishing for wild brown, brook, and rainbow trout in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York is what Papa Bear’s Adirondack Retreats is all about. All catch and release on a beautiful freestone river with prolific hatches of insects such as mayfly, caddis and stone flies. Remote and beautiful. A fantastic spot for birding and watching almost undisturbed nature. Very private and pristine. Adirondack Retreats is centrally located to many of the best rivers in northern NY such as the Ausable, Saranac, St. Regis, Chazy, Boquet, Salmon and many others.

Hunting, Fishing, Conservation, Preservation… all are practiced and spoken here.

The fishing in our region of the Adirondack Mountains just may be the best in the east. We are in the process of creating a club for a limited group of sportsmen and nature enthusiasts that will place them at the center of some of the best venues in the Adirondack mountains.

Our private 750 acreage in Northern New York offers the most incredible experiences in:

  • Wild Trout Fishing

Papa Bears Outdoors is a company founded on my love of our great outdoors first and foremost.

Since my youth I have had a passion for the outdoors that borders on psychotic and have spent countless hours in the woods or on the waters of our great planet. Along the way I have harvested some wonderful trophies and have become quite knowledgeable in the ways of the fish and game. This experience and the constant interaction with other like minded sportsmen, has allowed me a great deal of insight into what today’s sophisticated sportsmen seeks and demands from his gear. I believe that my inventions and products more than meet the needs and desires of modern sportsmen.

For over 40 years I have used my creative abilities to create numerous products related to the area of hunting and fishing. These products arose from the lack thereof and or improving on the shortcomings of existing products. I have invented, prototyped and field tested, under the most rigorous test conditions, these devices and feel that they are now ready to be presented to the public. My goal is to offer my vision, experience, and my products to all outdoorsmen and women on a global scale.

“We have our finger on the pulse of the region and guarantee to do our level best to put you in front of the best trophies the region has to offer.”
