Capital District Fishing Report – May 15th, 2015

The region’s trout streams, including the Battenkill and Mettawee, were in great shape and offering some fine fishing.

Saratoga Lake: Crappie have been biting all over, off Fitch Road and on the south end, so have great time fishing for them. Bass and pickerel have been very active as well. Most hard baits are working, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits. Walleye will have spawned in the Kayderosseras so hitting the mouth and around to Mannings Cove should be a good place to start. Pike are usually active anywhere the lake starts to drop from weedbeds

Some walleye were reported on Great Sacandaga Lake.
