Boy, that's a good question! I have heard of new algae blooms on Lake George (which is one of my fav lakes to ice fish for perch) and that they are trying to stay on top of it and figure out where it's coming from. Apparently they(dept of environmental conservation) are still learning. Wish I had a better answer for you but that's all I have heard so far. If I hear anything more l will report back!

Hard water is for ice fishing and soft water is for everything else. 😂

Very nice! We do a lot of fishing for perch and walleyes on the Great Sacandaga. Can't wait untill Lake George freezes safe. Love the perch bite there.

It's just regular fishing until it freezes then it's hard water! Ice fishing.. that's all. Lol!

Thanks!!

Thanks...I like to hit the anual salmon steelhead run salmon river Pulaski
