Categorization of New York State Trout Stream Reaches Categorization of New York State Trout Stream Reaches MARCH 2020 Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor | Basil Seggos, Commissioner A. Purpose This document supports the New York State Trout Stream Management Plan (TSMP) (NYSDEC 2020) by providing DEC Fisheries staff and anglers with a current list of the management categories assigned to New York trout stream reaches. B. Revision/Update Schedule Revision 1 (March 24, 2021) Management categories assignments may change as new information (biological, use and access) becomes available. This document will be updated annually in mid- February. This revision contains 9 changes. See section F for details. C. About Management Categories The TSMP established five independent categories of trout stream management. The categories make a sharp distinction between wild trout management (three categories) and stocked trout management (two categories). See the TSMP (NYSDEC 2020) for a discussion of each category and the objectives and strategies associated with those categories. 1 D. Management Category Criteria The criteria for assigning management categories to stream reaches are listed in Table 1 for wild trout management categories and Table 2 for stocked trout management categories (NYSDEC 2020). Table 1. Criteria for Wild Trout Management Categories Wild Wild-Quality Wild-Premier Significant access – at least 3 cumulative miles of reach length in one or more of the following: Access Public access Public access • Public fishing rights • Public land • Public fishing permitted by landowner • Adequate angler parking Size Not applicable Mean width >10 feet Mean width >20 feet Meets C(T)1 or • wild trout biomass >60 lbs/acre or ≥ • wild trout biomass Stream Reach higher water quality 500 yearling or older trout/mile >40 lbs/acre or Quality (Trout standard or data • abundance of wild trout ≥9 in • ≥ 300 yearling or Carrying Capacity) exists to support • potential to catch memorable fish older trout/mile C(T) classification (12′′ ST, 15′′ RT or BT)2 Reach can physically and biologically Angler Use Not applicable Not applicable accommodate moderate to high angler use (>150 hr/acre) Table 2. Category Criteria for Stocked Trout Management Table 2. Criteria for Stocked Trout Management Categories Stocked Stocked-Extended Significant access – at least 3 cumulative miles Access by one or more of the following: of reach length in one or more of the following: • Public fishing rights easements • Public fishing rights Access • Public land • Public land • Public fishing permitted by • Public fishing permitted by landowner landowner • Adequate angler parking Size Mean width >10 feet Mean width >20 feet • Survival to end of May • Reach conditions offer potential for spring- • Does not already support adequate stocked trout to survive into summer Stream Reach fisheries for black bass or walleye, • Temperatures generally suitable for regular Quality (Trout even though technically a trout stocking through mid-June or for two Carrying Capacity) stream consecutive months • Must meet Bp3 standard • Must meet Bs4 standard Angler Use >75 hours/acre >150 hours/acre 1 The C(T) classification applies to waters that support trout and requires evidence of trout presence. 2 ST=brook trout, RT= rainbow trout, and BT=brown trout 3 Marginal put and take trout streams with relatively little potential for wild or holdover contribution (Engstrom-Heg 1990). 4 Trout streams capable of supporting a spring fishery and some holdover trout, but with habitat deficiencies limiting wild trout (Engstrom-Heg 1990). 2 E. Management Categories Assigned to Trout Stream Reaches What is in Table 3 Table 3 contains trout stream reaches that have at least a portion that is publicly accessible and have been assigned one of the following categories: Stocked, Stocked- Extended, Wild-Quality and Wild-Premier. Reaches categorized as Wild with a catch- and-release regulation are also included. Each reach can have a mix of public access, informal access and private land. Anglers should respect private property and any posting of private property. Wild and Un-categorized trout stream reaches Many trout streams are categorized either as Wild (publicly accessible) or un- categorized (trout streams not in Table 3 that are on private land). Wild trout stream reaches are not listed in Table 3 due to the number of Wild streams, many of which are unnamed headwater streams. If a trout stream reach is not listed, it is likely categorized as Wild or uncategorized. The stream reach may also be listed in Section F: Table of Management Category Changes as the management category may have changed based on new information. DEC Regions Table 3 is organized by NYSDEC Region. The counties contained within DEC Regions is as follows: Region 1: Nassau and Suffolk counties Region 2: Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island Region 3: Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester counties Region 4: Albany, Columbia, Delaware, Greene, Montgomery, Otsego, Rensselaer, Schenectady and Schoharie counties Region 5: Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Saratoga, Warren and Washington counties Region 6: Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Oneida and St. Lawrence counties Region 7: Broome, Cayuga, Chenango, Cortland, Madison, Onondaga, Oswego, Tioga and Tompkins counties Region 8: Chemung, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne and Yates counties Region 9: Allegany, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Erie, Niagara and Wyoming counties 3 Guide to Table 3 Reach: A stream reach is a segment of stream that shares, at a basic level, a common set of physical and biological characteristics that influence its ability to support trout and trout angling opportunity for the public. Miles: The miles of the trout stream reach. Total # of Trout: The total number of trout is the total number of yearlings and 12+ inch trout planned to be stocked. CR : Management categories marked with a CR (for Catch and Release) denote trout stream reaches that have a grandfathered catch-and-release regulation. Table 3.

Session: 1 – Environmental Science & Society Title: Citizen Science: Science Literacy Education to Improve Future Decision Making Presenter: Amy Savage Presenter Affiliation: Citizen Science, Bard College Corresponding Amy Savage Author: Corresponding [email protected] Author Email: Co-Authors: Abstract: Bard College is a selective private liberal arts institution in New York’s Hudson Valley. Bard emphasizes mandatory curricular components, with the goal of preparing students for a lifetime of thoughtful engagement with complex issues. These issues are often scientific in nature, and thus necessitate an ability to engage with frequently unfamiliar scientific concepts in a thoughtful and appropriate way, the essence of scientific literacy. Inability to do so can lead to disempowerment and lack of engagement. In recognition that scientific literacy is both a key feature of, and pathway to, an engaged and informed citizenry, Citizen Science was added to the College’s first year core curriculum in 2011. The Citizen Science program is an intense 3-week course held over the January intersession, during which all first year students participate in common processes of scientific inquiry.

    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.
