About Fishing guiding and dog training

An outfitter who also trains dogs

Kalil's Upstate Outfitters is a fly-fishing guide service that carries a genuine second line of work. The business trades as Kalil's Upstate Outfitters, fly fishing and K9 training, Lake Placid region, and the contact block at the foot of the site reads fly fishing guiding, instruction, dog training, Lake Placid, New York. Ken, the owner, writes that he started fishing Adirondack waters shortly after learning to walk, was fly fishing and tying flies by eleven, and that a deeply rooted love for the sporting world together with a strong love for animals led to his interest in training dogs, with a special fondness for hunting dogs. He has been in the outfitting business for more than thirty-two years.

What to ask

Ask about programs, prices and where training takes place. The dog training page sits in the navigation alongside guided fly fishing and an about page, and the partner links point to the Ausable River Report and the Saranac River Report, which tells you the waters he works. The invitation the page extends for the dog side is phrased as a meeting of both canine and human minds.

Who this suits

An owner with a gun dog or a sporting breed in the High Peaks has a local option here, and one with thirty years of field time behind it. An owner looking for puppy classes, obedience courses or behavior work should ask directly, or look at the Saranac Lake and Plattsburgh businesses.
