  • Assessment of Public Comment on Draft Trout Stream Management Plan
    Assessment of public comments on draft New York State Trout Stream Management Plan OCTOBER 27, 2020 Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor | Basil Seggos, Commissioner A draft of the Fisheries Management Plan for Inland Trout Streams in New York State (Plan) was released for public review on May 26, 2020 with the comment period extending through June 25, 2020. Public comment was solicited through a variety of avenues including: • a posting of the statewide public comment period in the Environmental Notice Bulletin (ENB), • a DEC news release distributed statewide, • an announcement distributed to all e-mail addresses provided by participants at the 2017 and 2019 public meetings on trout stream management described on page 11 of the Plan [353 recipients, 181 unique opens (58%)], and • an announcement distributed to all subscribers to the DEC Delivers Freshwater Fishing and Boating Group [138,122 recipients, 34,944 unique opens (26%)]. A total of 489 public comments were received through e-mail or letters (Appendix A, numbered 1-277 and 300-511). 471 of these comments conveyed specific concerns, recommendations or endorsements; the other 18 comments were general statements or pertained to issues outside the scope of the plan. General themes to recurring comments were identified (22 total themes), and responses to these are included below. These themes only embrace recommendations or comments of concern. Comments that represent favorable and supportive views are not included in this assessment. Duplicate comment source numbers associated with a numbered theme reflect comments on subtopics within the general theme. Theme #1 The statewide catch and release (artificial lures only) season proposed to run from October 16 through March 31 poses a risk to the sustainability of wild trout populations and the quality of the fisheries they support that is either wholly unacceptable or of great concern, particularly in some areas of the state; notably Delaware/Catskill waters.

    The American Fly Fisher 7 OFFICERS The Dust of History President Leon Martuch Dust is a perpetual problem in a Museum.

Neglect and time have ruined many an antique, and have provided employment for countless Treasurer curators and museum conservators. Leigh H.

We are Secretary and Ass't Treasurer moved to draw a finger across the surface, or write our name. Mrs. Laura Towslee There is excitement in its message of forgotten places, and a feeling of discovery in being the one to break the spell of Executive Director neglect. At its worst, dust is a routine annoyance. At its Paul Schullery best, dust is time personified. Under many aliases, from goo- fus eggs to angel guano, dust has the ability to make us appreciate the passage of time around us. We have never been especially grateful for the favor, since until recently the dust itself was so transient, so easily removed. Things have changed. Dust as we came to know and love it is no longer a simple bane of the housewife.

  • 'A Rod of Her Own:' Women and Angling in Victorian North
    ‘A ROD OF HER OWN:’ WOMEN AND ANGLING IN VICTORIAN NORTH AMERICA DAVID MCMURRAY BA, University of Calgary, 1994 A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA © David McMurray, 2007 Dedication This thesis is dedicated to my children, Joel, Nathan and Janelle. May your own journeys in angling lead you beside streams of wisdom. “And upon all that are lovers of Vertue; and dare trust in his providence, and be quiet, and go a Angling. Study to be quiet, 1 Thes. 4:11.” From The Compleat Angler (1653) by Izaak Walton iii Abstract This thesis will argue that angling was a complex cultural phenomenon that had developed into a respectable sport for women during the Early Modern period in Britain. This heterogeneous tradition was inherited by many Victorian women who found it to be a vehicle through which they could find access to nature and where they could respectably exercise a level of authority, autonomy, and agency within the confines of a patriarchal society. That some women were conscious of these opportunities and were deliberate in their use of angling to achieve their goals while others happened upon them in a more unassuming manner, underscores how angling also functioned as a canopy of camouflage within Victorian society. In other words, though it outwardly appeared as a simple recreational activity, angling possessed the ability to function as a meta-narrative for its adherents, where the larger experiences and intentions of women became subtly intertwined, if not hidden, within the actual activity itself.
