  • Magnet: i thought we had a spot where we could talk about topics unrelated to fly fishing. i want to talk about unemployment and how it is being abused. there is too much fraud in the system. many of us scrounge to find time to fish while the freeloaders are leisurely doing what they want on our dime.

  • AaronJasper: 7 inches! Ouch, I wish that we would get a half inch every other day! that would be just the right amount...

  • sholgate: Not to mention how much of the algae has been moved.  It is all good.  We got 7 inches of rain.  Not sure why here, hardly anywhere else has even close to that. But a blessing.

  • big south: Swollen rivers are good for the trout too, is how silt gets removed for better spawning.

  • sholgate: Silly Aaron, my family on both sides are farmers. I know we needed the rain.  I was in the lower end of the Tully yesterday am.  It went from about 400 cfs to 2000 in about 30 minutes.  (I was fishing for bass.)

  • AaronJasper: Steve... I wish that we had shots of rain every day. We need it really bad. I know that on some streams the trout are having a real tough time.

Saratoga
« on: July 03, 2009, 02:11:09 AM »
I posted a few days ago regarding Lake George, however, turns out my friend lives a little south in Saratoga Springs, NY. (45 mins north of Albany.) Google Maps is showing a ton of streams around, but does anybody know if they have any fish in them? Also, if anybody knows any from-shore fishing for bass in the area?

The Sacandaga river is stocked with brown trout and has native brook trout. There is alot of public accsess right along route 30. The Mohawk and the Hudson are good bass fisheries. I also think the upper part of the Hudson is a decent trout fishery but you need to check for water releases as they release water for white water rafting at certain times. Sacandaga lake is loaded with fish including some VERY large pike (former world record) there is tons of public accsess for shore fishing. Pretty much if your in the Adirondack park there is tons of public accsess and tons of lakes, ponds and streams everywhere. I've been fishing in the Adirondacks since I was a little kid and every piece of water is good to fish for something. You can also count on almost every little creek having native brookies in it. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

That does help a lot, Nick, thank you! I think I'll try a few small creeks in the park (if I can find some.) Even if I can find something like the one NJ brookie gem, that'll be awesome ;)

Do you know much about Kayaderosseras Creek? I looked at the NY DEC and it seems they stock the hell out of it with browns. The town my friend is actually in seems to have a good portion of those stockers, too.

Kayaderosseras Creek   Greenfield   670   March   Brown Trout   8 - 9 inches
Kayaderosseras Creek   Greenfield   420   May - June   Brown Trout   8 - 9 inches

The Battenkill is only about 30 minutes away from Saratoga.

If you just want to wet your line and catch a couple fish the Kayaderosseras will work.  I fished it probably 7 or 8 years ago now, the reason they stock it so much is that I doubt it could sustain any trout from year to year, it's a flat slow moving creek that I would think gets very warm later in the summer, never been towards the headwaters though.  I would think the Battenkill would be a better experience if you have the time.
