TCO is excited to announce the opening of the newest TCO location, TCO Fly Shop at the Hungry Trout Resort in Wilmington, NY just outside of Lake Placid. The shop is located right on the world famous Ausable River and is the gateway to a fly anglers paradise in the beautiful Adirondacks.

The Hungry Trout Fly Shop has been the premier destination on the Ausable River for years... known for great flies and fly fishing gear, the best guides on the river along with friendly, knowledgeable and consistently exceptional service. The Hungry Trout Resort is the place to stay on the river and offers private access to "The Dream Mile" of the Ausable River. With two great places to dine, drink and share fishing stories the Hungry Trout Resort is a welcome home away from home to fly fisherman that travel from across the country to experience the special and historic waters of the Adirondack region.

We've already had a great start to the season and we look forward to welcoming you back to The Hungry Trout soon. Please click here to contact us about our exceptional Ausable River guide services, educational programs and our Hungry Trout lodging & fly fishing packages!

TCO Education

 
Private Water

We offer lessons, workshops and demonstrations on every aspect of the fly fishing experience. Classes in and around the shop will be plentiful and convenient. But learning on the water is paramount to improving your fishing IQ. TCO agrees with those who said, ”Watching a good caster or angler on a stream will teach you more in 20 minutes that you can learn reading 20 pages.” Time on the water is the best teacher. TCO offers learning opportunities for anglers of all ages and levels of experience.   TCO and The Hungry Trout through a number of exclusive partnerships have access to miles of private water in the region. From the unparalleled experience on "The Dream Mile" of the Ausable River to remote ponds and lakes teeming with Brook Trout up to 5 pounds, let TCO and The Hungry Trout help you craft a schedule that includes unique and uncrowded fly fishing experiences. Our experienced guide staff know these waters intimately and is available to help ensure you get the most out of your visit to these exceptional opportunities.
