i don't necessary want to fish Saranac lake. IS there any lake that has a eyes and/or calico. if not i will just find pike lake. I'm willing to drive a little ways.

Black Lake.....both crappies and 'eyes....put on at Mile Arm Bay and head for T island...and there are other spots as well......Esox

Crappie are hard  to find in that area, your closest bet would be Black Lake for those. THere are some walleye in the Saranac Lake region I am not sure exactly which ones but maybe a little research on the DEC site could tell you

When I went to school at PSC back in 1990, we were told there was only one place really with black crappies, and it was surrounded with private land.

Lower Saranac has a slowly growing walleye population.  If you looking for Pike then I would say definitely lower saranac lake.  Yuu can access the lake via a public access near the new school.  Head out about 200 yards and spread your tip-ups out in the bay.  It is a descent weedbed and holds a pike every now and then.

Just watch out for the bubbler near the encon boat house to your right as you are walking out.

If you care to fish trout and salmon there is always Colby across from the hospital.  Again, it has easy access but is heavily fished. 

Pretty much anywhere's you look on a map and see water larger than a pond in that general area, you will find pike with the exception to Colby.

Good Luck....

black lake for eyes and crappies try next to rasberry island

Tupper Lake and Simon pond are not too far from the Saranac region and offer a mixed bag of species.

Definately will be ice by then probably a few weeks before that,Speaking of crapies I heard a population just suddenly appeared in the fulton chain this year and they were big.It has myself and a few others stumped because they were never there before a freind contacted a regional dec office they hadn't stocked any so my guess is someone is up to no good, not that I think they would hurt the fishery its just not a good idea to go throwing fish in a lake to see what happens.

[oldken]

there is some pretty good walleye fishing in franklin falls and union falls just ask around. not hard to find
i believe ther is also a place to buy bait at union falls look for mc intyers

[backwater]

Union Falls has walleyes and northerns, access is easy- if you park at McIntyre's campground there may be a small fee, but they also have rooms you can rent I believe right there on the lake. I'll check and see.
