It's definitely a put and take fishery and the lack of rivers does make spawning basically impossible. You wouldn't believe where I've seen them trying to spawn. I was only a twinkle in my fathers eye in the early 80's when the salmon fishing was better than the laker fishing... Wish I could have be...

Golden Laker from Lake George

Cool, good tips. I tried the pools near gravel beds with rapalas & spinners (fly rod snapped a week ago and waiting on replacement) but browns browns browns.. Can't complain though. I see what you're saying on that second pic, I think it might be the angle though? Big flat tail, spots on dorsal ...

Yup, been up there a little. Have been fishing all 3 rivers on this side before and after work most days. Zero salmon. Thought I might find a couple hanging around near spawning spots still, but not sure if they hang around that long.

I think I read on here that a lot of guys use progressive... Couple hundred for a year of good coverage.

Hey Guys, just joined the site today. I've fished/Guided on Lake George for the past 25 years and recently moved to Plattsburgh while my better half is finishing some degree work at SUNY. Completely different fishery up here, but loving it so far. I'm getting my 17' Blue Fin up here in a week or so ...

Nothing that I can see yet. I'm in Albany for work right now, but the other day the only thing I saw open was the mouth on the rivers. Still a few guys out ice fishing!

I just moved to Plattsburgh 2 months ago. so have some learning to do and appreciate all the info. Been having lots of fun on the tributaries over the past week and 1/2 w...
