Fly Pond is a 15-acre pocket water in the Great Sacandaga Lake region — small enough to fall off most fishing reports but large enough to hold a canoe for an afternoon. No fish data on record, which typically means either nobody's reporting or nobody's catching, though ponds this size in the southern Adirondacks often hold residual populations of pickerel or stunted sunfish if they're connected to larger drainages. Access details are scarce — likely either private shoreline or a bushwhack proposition from a seasonal road. If you're poking around the Sacandaga backcountry with a topo map and time to spare, it's worth a look; otherwise, this one stays quiet for a reason.
Footes Pond is a three-acre pocket of water in the Great Sacandaga Lake region — small enough that it rarely shows up on recreational radar, and remote enough that access details stay local knowledge. No fish stocking records on file, which usually means either wild brookies or none at all; ponds this size in the southern Adirondacks tend to go one way or the other depending on winterkill and inlet flow. The Great Sacandaga corridor is better known for its reservoir shoreline and snowmobile routes than for backcountry ponds, so Footes lives in that quiet category of waters you find by asking at the general store. Worth a knock on the door if you're in the area with a canoe.
