Although there is no "official" warning from DEC, fishermen have claimed to have caught bull sharks in the St. Lawrence River in NY. If true, they would likely be in Lake Ontario also and possibly Lake Champlain. A girl was severely attacked in the St. Lawrence several years ago and it was blamed on a northern pike or musky but those fish are common in most Adirondack lakes and rivers and aren't generally known to attack people.
although as a small child visiting northern Wisconsin and seeing trophy muskies on the walls in various bait stores I was frightened.
my older sister used to yell, "the muskies are coming" and I would run out of the water.
