The Great Sacandaga Lake Fisheries Federation Is Now On FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM - Like Us Today

The Great Sacandaga Lake Fisheries Federation (GSLFF) was formed in February 1984 after several groups noted the need for one group to oversee the promotion and enhancement of the fishery of the Great Sacandaga Lake. Since this time, the group has collectively worked in many ways to enhance the fishery of one of the finest fisheries in New York State. In 1996, upon assuming a trust fund from the Red Bunch Fish & Game Club, the GSLFF incorporated as a federally recognized 501(c)(4) not for profit corporation.

The GSLFF celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2014 and is looking forward to continued building of our membership while we keep focused on the enhancement of the lakes fishery. Don't be fooled by our name, the GSLFF's objective reaches much further than just the lakes fishery. We are very involved in many of the issues that face the lake in turn its fishery.  We committed over 10 years in participating in and developing     the Upper Hudson/Sacandaga Agreement of Settlement of which we are a signateur, member of the Great Sacandaga Lake Advisory Council and participated in the Hudson River Black River Regulating District Steering Committee.  These are just some of our other commitments. Please support us in keeping a watchful eye on the lake and its fishery.

CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE

Chairman@gslff.com

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday’s however you celebrated.  Once again I write the January newsletter entertaining a confused mother nature.  What started off as seeming winter in early December changed to rain and lake levels not normally seen this high again until April.  Early ice fishermen reported good catches of mainly walleye and pike.  For the meantime, hard water anglers have mostly retreated to smaller local lakes but I am optimistic that the lake will firm up shortly.  In any event, caution must be excercised when venturing out and of course send us photos of your catches!    2019 will bring some changes to our group as we look for a member to fill the position of secretary for the group.  If anyone could help, please contact me as it would be greatly appreciated.  Our summer contest raffle is under review and may be replaced with a month long raffle later in the year which we would sell tickets for until that time.  With the increased costs of mailings to companies to solicit prizes, the large amount of hours it takes to do so and many companies cutting back, we are considering trying something different.  As with our club and fundraising efforts, they can only be successful with support of our members.    In addition to our seasonal contests, member feedback at the contest last fall and online showed that an overwhelming majority would like to have a bass only contest.  Plans are underway to hold this event in mid July.  If there are any last minute comments or suggestions about this event, please let us know.  Finally, my message would be imcomplete if I didn’t enter my plea for current and prospective members to help keep the group moving in a positive direction through their ideas at meetings as well as helping at our events and stockings.  I am also looking for a volunteer to put our newsletter together a few times a year which can be done through e-mail.  Best wishes for a prosperous 2019,
