    New York FRESHWATER April 2019 FISHINGDigest Fishing: A Sport For Everyone NY Fishing 101 page 10 A Female's Guide to Fishing page 30 A summary of 2019–2020 regulations and useful information for New York anglers www.dec.ny.gov Message from the Governor Freshwater Fishing: A Driver for Ecotourism New York State is committed to increasing and supporting a wide array of ecotourism initiatives, including freshwater fishing. Our approach is simple—we are strengthening our commitment to protect New York State’s vast natural resources while seeking compelling ways for people to enjoy the great outdoors in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. The result is sustainable economic activity based on a sincere appreciation of our state’s natural resources and the values they provide. We invite New Yorkers and visitors alike to enjoy our high-quality water resources. New York is blessed with fisheries resources across the state. Every day, we manage and protect these fisheries with an eye to the future. To date, New York has made substantial investments in our fishing access sites to ensure that boaters and anglers have safe and well-maintained parking areas, access points, and boat launch sites. In addition, we are currently investing an additional $3.2 million in waterway access in 2019, including: • New or renovated boat launch sites on Cayuga, Oneida, and Otisco lakes • Upgrades to existing launch sites on Cranberry Lake, Delaware River, Lake Placid, Lake Champlain, Lake Ontario, Chautauqua Lake and Fourth Lake. New York continues to improve and modernize our fish hatcheries. As Governor, I have committed $17 million to hatchery improvements.

The work group has been meeting for several months to develop recommendations on public/private partnerships to enhance recreational programs and public information on the Park's recreational opportunities. A sub-committee has also met with the five towns most directly affected by the recent State acquisition of Essex Chain, Indian River and OK Slip Falls parcels from the Nature Conservancy. A publication is being prepared on the recommendations. A presentation on the groups recommendations was given at Local Government Day on April 25 and will also be presented to the Agency Board at the June meeting. Meeting of Region 5 Open Space Plan On May 2, Jim Connolly and Kevin Prickett attended a meeting of DEC's Region 5 Open Space Advisory Committee which was held at DEC's Warrensburg office. The Advisory Committee is in the process of updating recommendations on land acquisition and protection which will be included in the NYS Open Space Plan. The report will include general policy recommendations as well as the Committee's recommendations on specific acquisitions which are being considered for purchase by the State. Discussion of recommendations are expected to be completed by the end of May with the revised draft of the Open Space Plan to be released for public comment later this year.
