A day on the dead sea
« on: Dec 29, 2007, 05:53 PM »
Went to the great sacandaga today. was there 12 hours no bites or a single flag. at least the shanty had her maiden voyage. and the beer and venison was good.

My son and three other guys went there this after noon and fished until they couldn't see the flags any more. No fish..........No flags.   I went there last week end for about three hours and we caught 3 eyes at dusk. Haven't had any eyes since last winter and boy did there ever taste good

we arent in a very good spot we usually pull out a few fish every year and 1 good fish. but we arent where we want to fish access is the problem. were we are now we have plowed parking and a easy walk to the shanty. but we arent where we would like to be fishing

I've never fished the reservoir but would not mind trying. Where is there public access if you were coming in around Fish house rd?

Go to the end of Fishouse and take a left. Follow to Broadalbin launch site. I think it's about 5 miles. Look for brown State Launch sign on the right. Anyone else out there to confirm the distance????

at the end of fish house i go right. i cross edinberg bridge take a right by the store and we go out from the marina. they plow when there is snow and its off the street parking cant beat it. the only rule is stay out of the way of where the snowmobiles come in and out. thats what they say
