Great Sacandaga Lake has plenty of perch, and rock bass! Nice size perch are found throughout the lake, and the rock bass can be a problem at times, but always fun for the kids! You do not have to be a kid to enjoy catching and eating perch! Sometimes they’re harder to locate than walleye, but run a real nice size. I find May and then September/October the best time of the year to catch good numbers of perch.

            The GSL also holds some nice crappie (calico bass) if you can locate them. We manage to get a few in the spring, and then they disappear! Sunfish are spotty: some areas of the lake hold good numbers while others you never see one. Rock Bass can be a nuisance at times especially if you are using live bait and hoping for walleye.
