Crappie
Crappie fishing near Glens Falls requires a bit of exploration, but the rewards can be worth it. While the Hudson River itself isn't known for crappie, several smaller lakes and ponds in the surrounding area hold decent populations. Saratoga Lake, a relatively short drive south, is a good option. Look for crappie around submerged structure, such as fallen trees, docks, and weed beds. Spring is the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Small jigs and minnows are effective baits. There are several boat launches around Saratoga Lake, providing easy access to different parts of the lake. A local tip: crappie tend to school tightly, so if you catch one, stay put and you're likely to catch more. The crappie in this region tend to be on the smaller side, but it's still possible to find some slabs if you know where to look.
