About Ziehnert Guide Service
Ziehnert Guide Service is the top-rated fishing charter on Lake George and in the Adirondacks, with over 330 five-star Google reviews from anglers who have fished with Captain Drew Ziehnert. Operating out of Dunham's Bay Marina on the south end of the lake, the service targets lake trout, landlocked Atlantic salmon, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and northern pike across both the north and south basins of Lake George.
Captain Drew is a multi-sponsored tournament angler who wins bass tournaments every season and consistently records the highest catch rates of any guide on the lake. Trips are available for open-water fishing from spring through fall, and ice fishing expeditions during winter, covering both Lake George and nearby Saratoga Lake. All tackle, rods, and bait are provided — guests just need a valid New York State fishing license. Half-day and full-day charters accommodate up to four anglers per boat.
What sets Ziehnert apart is Captain Drew's deep, tournament-level knowledge of Lake George's fish populations, structure, and seasonal patterns. He doesn't just know where the fish are — he studies them year-round. Whether you are a first-timer looking to land your first bass or an experienced angler chasing trophy lake trout through the ice, Ziehnert Guide Service delivers results.
