The Ausable River is considered one of the finest trout streams in the East. It is a freestone river known for prolific hatches and great fly fishing. There are native brook trout, along with rainbow trout and brown trout. It is also one of the most scenic rivers in the East.
The Ausable is rich in fly-fishing tradition. It was home to the renowned Francis Betters—a member of the Fly Fishing Hall of Fame—who invented the Ausable Wulff, the Haystack, and the Usual, fly patterns still used today. Born in 1931, Betters fished the Ausable with his father, an Adirondack guide, and his friends, including Red Wilbur and Ray Bergman, who authored the classic fishing guide Trout in 1938. For almost five decades, anglers visiting the Adirondacks stopped by Mr. Betters’s Adirondack Sport Shop. His passing in 2009 was a heartfelt loss to the community.
