A Grand Fall Safari at Peck Lake

Peck Lake, a gem of Fulton County, was the destination for the NYSOWA 2024 Fall Safari. It was a first for this writer to attend the event there. For years Dan Ladd had been telling me about this location, and I needed to make it to the next event there, he was not wrong! I have come to learn this about Dan, his descriptions are spot on.

To say we were welcomed by the Peck Family is to be well-understated! Our event was well organized, and it dovetailed perfectly with the beauty of Peck Lake and the throwback to an Adirondack-style experience. The cabins were comfortable with the basic necessities and well-kept. It didn’t hurt that we had incredible weather during our time there. Both fishing days were wonderful times on the water. I would spend my two mornings in the neighboring Great Sacandaga Lake. A great time was had with boat captains Steve George and Mike Hauser. The bite was light, however, a few walleye were caught, and the conversations among old friends were priceless.

During our time there we got a first-hand demonstration of SIONYX Marine Vision products. The Nightwave Marine Night Vision Camera would be of interest to any boat owner. As an engineer who designs Image Sensors, I can attest to the features and low-light-level performance they have achieved with their technology. Highly recommended. NYS Forest Owners Association gave us a thorough rundown on their organization and we’ll be working to cross-promote each other. The wildlife museum is a must-stop destination for everyone and has expanded in recent years. On Saturday evening, Assemblyman Robert Smullen of NY District 118 stopped by and met with many of us giving an open invitation to contact him directly on outdoor/sportsmen-related legislation and to help address any current or forthcoming concerns. We could use many more assemblymen of similar mindsets.

A big thank you goes out to Pecks Lake Resort, Peanut, the Peck Family, and their staff, Rogers Cideryard, SIONYX (Mike Hauser,) Franks Gun Shop, NYS Forest Owners Association, Fulton County Tourism, The Wildlife Sports and Educational Museum, and Harnish Outdoor Supply for sponsoring events and meals. I would also like to thank our guides for a wonderful time on the lakes- John Dackhow, Tom Cascone, Steve George, and Mike Hauser!

Pecks Lake Resort is highly recommended, and a perfect setting to relax, decompress, and enjoy an Adirondack style retreat!
