The Queen of American Lakes, as Lake George is known, is about to undergo a five-year assessment of its lake trout, black bass and salmon populations that could eventually change the way these and their forage species are managed in the 32-mile long lake in the southeastern Adirondacks.
On Jan. 12 the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced the release of the plan, which will focus on collecting data.

Joe Hackett, who for decades worked as a professional outdoor guide in the heart of the Adirondacks, passed away Sunday, Jan. 11 after a long battle with Lewy Body Dementia.
Hackett’s obituary in the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, a publication he wrote for, said “For more than four decades as a professional guide, Joe led clients and friends through the waterways and trails of the Adirondacks. He took people from quiet streams brimming with native trout to the region’s grandest hotels and private retreats.”

Featured, Fishing, National Fishing, Opinion, Wisconsin /

When northern lakes freeze, bassin’ turns hot in the South. For lunker largemouths in southern waters, fish late winter or early spring pre-spawn.
What gear should you bring? In many southern waters, vegetation grows profusely. Nothing goes over matted grass like buzzing frogs.

Dan Ladd: New York’s new Adirondack Brook Trout Plan needs help from anglers to succeed

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, National Fishing, New York, Opinion /

There are certain fish and wildlife species out there whose very existence, or lack thereof, is a measure not only of the environment and the habitat they thrive in, but the efforts to support their surrounding ecosystems.
Two species that quickly come to mind are common loons in the Adirondacks, and lake trout anywhere they exist. Many would classify brook trout in the same category, as New York’s official state fish certainly has its challenges, and in modern times, seems to have always had.
