Battenkill Lodge was the vision of owner and founder, Capt. Bob Sztorc, who fell in love with the Battenkill River and “fishing the Kill” in the 1970’s. This passion prompted him to buy some acreage along the river where he could share his love of the “Battenkill” with other anglers eager to embrace the beauty of the area.
The Battenkill Lodge houses 3 private suites with full amenities that can accommodate between 1 – 6 guests.
The Lodge provides excellent trout fishing, with miles of private water, separate beats and paths. Our guests enjoy an experience of unhurried tranquility in a peaceful wildlife setting.
For afternoon pleasure our Naco Pond will provide ample opportunity to fish for three and four pound Browns.
As Battenkill Lodge practices Catch and Release fishing, these fish become larger and wiser with each passing season.
As with all of the properties, there is full driving access with easy entrance to all pools. Each beat has tables for tackle preparation or a riverside lunch. The Hoosic is isolated and private and therefore has minimal angling pressure. Brown trout to 24 inches and Rainbows to 20 inches are taken regularly, which has earned the property the nickname “Jurassic Park.”
