 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 25th anniversary in 2009 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

I certainly hope everyone is enjoying our early spring this year.  The gates at Conklingville are closed and the lake has commenced its annual refilling.  Though we have had less snow than past years, the lake regulators are expecting a full pond again this year.  It would be nice that it does not reach overflow levels where there is erosion as well as property loss and damage.  Following our very successful ice fishing contest, we have been busy planning the year and spent a weekend talking to people with similar interests at the Adirondack Outdoorsmen Show in Johnstown in February.  A special thanks goes out to promoter and GSLFF member Mike Hauser for the space he provided for us.  As our ice fishing contest ran the same day as the Walleye Challenge but without walleye as a species, I would ask for input from anglers if they thought this was a format that should be continued.

 As always, members are encouraged to assist with our contests.  If you can help, feel free to let us know.  We hope to see everyone at our event at the Sand Bar on May 5^th and Sport Island Pub this summer for our contest, award ceremony and raffle drawing on June 18^th.  I am always looking forward to ideas and suggestions to help us grow the group.  Come introduce yourself at one of our meetings and bring them along.

 Tight Lines,

      Randy Gardinier, Chairman
