Headed up in a few weeks to my buddy’s camp. How’s the fishing? Looks like a lot of little smallies in there from some quick research. Any largemouth? I’d be happy to share Candlewood, Champlain, or CT river info in return. PM me if better.

Decent fishing, it’s mainly a smallmouth, walleye and pike fishery. It’s also one of the busiest lakes in the state, a lot of people from Albany down to NYC flock to that place. We usually avoid it like the plague, just better lakes without the crowds or City arrogance.. It’s a good numbers lake, won’t catch any 3-4lb smallies but you’ll get a lot of 1-2lb fish. Walleye fishing is challenging.. I’d suggest going to myfishfinder.com and to the NY forum. They have a great sacandaga lake thread with a bunch of locals posting reports.

Appreciate the info
Typical smallie stuff like tubes, jigs, ned rigs, top water etc and focus on the shoals and rock piles. If you can catch them at Champlain you can catch them there haha

Like others said, decent fishing. I fish there quite a bit, but stick to mid-week or days I think will be slower traffic, works well, I've been on a busy day and boat wakes can make ya feel like you're fishing in 6'ers, lol. Like Cobb said lot of smaller numbers fish, I've caught some decent 2+lbers but 3 and over are rare. Dragging the many rock piles, with a jig, ned, or soft plastic usually gets it done. Good luck
As mentioned above....lot of big numbers with the smallies, they fight really hard there. But size is hard to come by. Most tournaments there are usually won with 5 fish total weight about 9-10 pounds....lunker usually a heavy 2. Watch the rocks, many not marked.
All good things to know. Thanks fellas
