Who never herd of the Great Sacandaga?
What state is this GREAT SACANDAGA ? Certainly not in Northern NY, is it
The Great Sacandaga is not 'Northern' NY. It is on the Southern edge of the Adirondack's, North of Amsterdam, NY. I would call it a capital region lake, being that it is about the same distance from Albany as Lake George is.
I went to college in Canton ..... and always said NNY was it's own state
The Great Sacandaga Lake (formerly the Sacandaga Reservoir) is a large lake situated in the Adirondack Park in northern New York in the United States. The word Sacandaga means "Land of the Waving Grass" in the local native language. The lake is located in the northern parts of Fulton County and Saratoga County near the south border of the Adirondack Park. A small part of it also extends northward into southern Hamilton County. The broader, south end of the lake is northeast of the City of Johnstown and the City of Gloversville.Like many of the other lakes in the Adirondack region of northern New York, Great Sacandaga Lake is a reservoir. The original lake was greatly enlarged by a dam on the Sacandaga River at the northeast end of the lake. The primary purpose for the creation of the reservoir was to control flooding on the Hudson River and the Sacandaga River.

Wow....its a tough crowd out there. Not familiar with navigating this site yet.....so I will try to keep posting and see what happens?? Not sure what board I do or do not have access to because I have not posted 5 times??As there are no safe areas within the Capital District, I was wondering about Northern NY.....I had friends that fished Caroga and Sacandaga Lake.....NOT The "Great Sacandaga"....and caught a few fish last weekend...but even these are not fully locked yet.I usually go to Lake Colby to start the season ( would those of you questioning my geography have a problem calling that northern NY???) As Lakes such as Colby, Saranac, Harris, Indian and Tupper are a 2 1/2 to 3 hour ride....I defer to just driving up on a whim if I can get some info first.The more "local" lakes......within a 1 to 2 hour ride....Like Trout Lake, Brant Lake, Schroon Lake, Eagle Lake and Moreau are more geared for the early season trout I am looking to fish. I usually wait until George freezes and then perch fish the rest of the season......but thats going to be a tough one this year.

YES THAT IS NORTHERN NEW YORK.I don't know I always kinda thought that from like Watertown back was more or less Northern NY. Give or take. But in reality it does not matter. LIVE TO FISH and FISH to live and your goal should be to try to outfish the ICE DOG69 or go to your grave trying! Whoooooooooooooohooooo oooooo!
