Fishing season is in full swing on the Great Sacandaga. The efforts of the Great Sacandaga Lake Fisheries Federation are visible in both the quantity and the quality of the trout the lake is producing. Crawler rigs and spoons are producing some decent rainbows and reports of some nice browns are trickling in as well. Smallmouth bass are readily taking almost anything thrown at them and always put up a fun struggle. Remember the bass season does not open till the 3rd saturday in June so they are strictly catch and release only. The walleyes are coming a little slow for this time of year but the fish that are being caught are of decent size. There seems to be an abundance of baitfish this year which most likely will lead to bigger fish across the board. The Great Sacandaga continues to produce some very respectable yellow perch, most of which are caught as an added bonus to the angler targeting walleyes. On another note, big carp can be seen jumping and rolling in nearly every bay on the lake and the bowfishermen are having a blast taking them with archery tackle.
