Great Sacandaga Lake has some fantastic Walleye fishing, whether looking for dinner, a trophy, or maybe even a full stringer of Walleye. Walleye are noted for being good to eat, and at times hard to locate. That’s why a guide is often needed to be successful when pursuing them, especially on the GSL.

          While I love fly-fishing for trout in streams, I have always had a special love of Walleye Fishing. I continually study every aspect of walleye fishing and keeping a data base on every one caught, which includes weather, water, lure, and other conditions that help bring this allusive fish to the net. Basically Walleye are “easy to catch, but hard to locate”, that’s why many anglers do good one day and think there’s none left the next. Fishing every day as I do helps in locating them, and is why a guide is very helpful.

         To be successful you must further be flexible, and willing to use a variety of methods and techniques. Drifting rigs, trolling, jigging, slip-bobbers, and at times casting can make the difference. Timing is probably the most important part of fishing, even if you have the right bait, using the right method, and the right place, you still must be there when the fish are willing to hit. That’s one of the things you are paying a guide for, his knowledge of not only how but also when and where. This is why I stress the importance of fishing every day as I do, which gives you a greater opportunity to have a great fishing trip. You will find pages such as NIGHT TIME “EYES”, TROPHY WALLEYE and STRINGER OF WALLEYE helpful in not only how to locate them, but give you further information on how to fish for them.
