I'm from the area and my vote goes to the Hungry Trout. They even have a fly shop on premises and guide services if needed. Cascade Inn comes to mind as well. Check for cottages in Wilmington NY - that's where the AuSable is. Stay away from Lake Placid - expensive and snooty. Good folks in Wilmington.
