"Welcome to the TP TRIBE!"

"Trout Power is a natural partnership fit for Adirondack Distilling.  We rely heavily on water to make our unique, locally distilled Vodka.  Water's the lifeblood of all we do."   

- Jordan Karp

Newest member of the Trout Power TRIBE, ADK Distilling Co, Utica NY

A doctor, lawyer and a political consultant walk into a bar…


Sure it sounds like the beginning of a joke. However, in reality, it was actually the beginning of something really special. With a shared love of spirits and specifically Vodka, Bruce Elwell, Steve Cox and Jordan Karp began talking about going into business together.

With a history of home brewing and even some bootleggers in their family trees, making Vodka wasn't just a fantasy, it was good business. But not just any vodka... one that used local ingredients, was gluten-free, and used a distilling process that minimized it's impact on the environment. In 2010 that shared vision of a local distillery, became the very real Adirondack Distilling Company.

They started in 2011 with the purchase of a historic building for the Adirondack Distilling Company on Varick Street in Utica, New York. Using state-of-the-art equipment, a custom-crafted copper still from Germany, and a proven distilling process, Adirondack Distilling Company became Central New York’s latest gem.

Trout Power was given a personal tour with Anita and Jordan of Adirondack Distilling just last week.  Their strategies and efficiencies are bold and beautiful to behold, just like their gloriously smooth Vodka.

We're grateful and proud to Welcome them to the Trout Power family and are excited about our new friends on Varick Street.

"CATCH THE POWER!"

Our first Trout Scout.

MEET LOGAN WEBSTER

Bug Whisperer 

and this year’s

Trout Power 

HONORARY TROUT SCOUT

Logan Webster's first fish!

Little Falls, NY   “I met a photographer last year who was visiting our area to participate in a Trout Power event.  We had an extensive and intriguing conversation about the goals and future of the event and the area  in general,” says Juli Webster, Logan's mom and owner of The Mustard Seed & Antiques at Stone Mill in Little Falls, NY. “Recently, a Trout Power FaceBook ad popped up and I remembered hearing about the event so I wanted to learn more” says Juli.  "Now, with Trout Power's special permission, my son Logan's fishing in the Tournament!"

"Bug Whisperer, Logan Webster"

Nature Lover.  Juli’s 8 year old son Logan is a true blue nature lover. He has always instantly fallen in love with any creature he could get his hands on.  Logan’s always had a “dead bug jar” for insects that required further study- cicadas, bees, dragonflies, beetles- whatever Logan found in his adventures. 

Logan taught himself to read after he got tired of waiting for grown-ups to identify the different species!

Last summer, while camping at Lake Durant, Logan was able to wade in the water at Lake Durant and fish unsupervised as he had taught himself to tie the knots for swivels, bait his own hook and gently remove the small Perch and Pumpkin seeds that he’d been catching.  Logan’s mom remembers him coming back to camp with a 17 inch Largemouth Bass in tow.  

Logan declared “Fishing is my life!”  and he’s gladly accepted any opportunity to catch and release fish even if only off the bridge near the front door of his Mom’s shop.  Very few days have gone by in the last year without at least a few of Logan’s casts going in some body of water.  The memory card’s full of proud catches before being released.  

Logan’s passion has inspired his dad, uncle, great-aunt and grandparents to rediscover their love of being outdoors and fishing. When the snow covers everything, Logan and his family watch the ice fisherman on Canadarago Lake.

The "BIG ONE"

Logan’s rituals.  Logan does a nightly reorganization of the tackle box and takes a rope to bed to practice knot tying. Logan reads every possible fish identification book from the library and watches countless YouTube videos of fishermen. 

Jeremy Wade of River Monsters is Logan’s latest role model (survivalists now took a back seat), not only because of his monstrous catches, but because of the biological studies behind them. 

Spring time brings about craw fishing, frogging and of course, fishing.  Logan continues to evolve in his fishing expertise and interest while his whole family has a blast following him around to as many New York waterways as possible. Though Logan is shy, fishermen at the shop love trading secrets with him and enjoy cluing us in on their favorite spots.  Logan’s honored and excited to be this year’s

Trout Power Honorary Trout Scout!

Logan "Froggin'"

Juli Webster owns The Mustard Seed & Antiques in Little Falls, NY.  She makes her own line of products including dip mixes, beeswax candles, herbal home-keeping products as well as sell antiques, vintage items and other retail lines. The shop is located in historic Canal Place on the Mohawk River, steps away from the Erie Canal.  

Juli home-educates her two boys, ages 6 and 8 ½, and both boys are often with her at the shop. No doubt, Logan’s never-ending search for the coolest bug and the most beautiful fish, keeps his Mom, Juli on her toes!

Cortland Line agrees to send lines for Trout Power

Cortland line company.  A local fly fishing company and proponent of clean water and wild trout preservation is donating lines for Trout Power as prizes for creel study, and also as items for the silent auction.

Trout Power and Dairy Princess Collaborate to Celebrate West Canada Creek at Fishing Derby June 8

Make plans to get your little fisherman to cow and trout country for the Children’s Fishing Derby during Trout Power Weekend at Harris-Dale Farm and Nursery pond in Newport, N.Y. on Saturday, June 8. Trout Power is a community initiative to help protect, promote and to allow the West Canada Creek to prosper. Check the full Trout Power Weekend Events at troutpower.blogspot.com.

Trout and cows share the need for…water and the West Canada Creek. Many of Herkimer County’s 150 dairy farmer families are tending land in the watershed of West Canada Creek to produce nature’s most perfect food: milk from 13,000 cows. A dairy farmer provides their cows 24-hour access to fresh water because a milk cow needs to drink five (5) gallons of milk to make the gallon of milk in your refrigerator.

Consequently, West Canada Creek is a significant hub for producing and providing local milk. Water is the most important nutrient for a dairy cow to have every day. Cows needs to have fresh water available to them at all times because it drinks a bathtub of water everyday to keep its four-stomach body healthy. Hence, the largest component of milk is water at 87 percent.

The catch and release derby will begin at 8 a.m. and prizes from the Dairy Princess, Becca Jenkins, and Harris-Dale Stables will be awarded at 11:30. You may pre-register at harrisdalestables.com. Healthy snacks and lunch are included in the $5 registration fee.

During and following the fishing derby at Harris-Dale Farm and Nursery, children and parents will be refueled with nutrient-rich milk, cheese or yogurt served by Herkimer County Dairy Princess, Rebecca Jenkins.  Milk from 80-cows that Rebecca helps to feed, clean and keep comfortable, is sold to the Greek yogurt plants nearby – Fage in Johnstown, N.Y. and Chobani in South Edmeston, N.Y.

"One day I ended up working the afternoon on a family-owned airy after having helped return a horse to this farm. I felt an immediate love for both the creatures and the great purpose - producing food for America," says Rebecca Jenkins, Herkimer County Dairy Princess from Newport, N.Y. "As Dairy Princess, it is most important to me to teach the importance of dairy products as a food staple with the benefits they provide for a better, healthier, stronger life."

There will be time to hear Becca’s first-hand accounts about dairy farming and to ask her questions about how cows make milk, how farmers make cows happy and how to make Maple Milk. She will share her favorite way to have her three servings of dairy every day, bestow “got milk?” derby prizes and play a game.

If you'd like to volunteer your time to supervise junior fishers or to help aid in casting or baiting at the derby, please call Stefanie at (315) 725-6061 or email her at harrisdalestables@gmail.com. Harris-Dale Farm and Nursery is located at 8040 State Route 28, Newport, NY 13416.
