The beneficiaries of Cameron R. Argetsinger’s dream have been the race drivers, team crews, and fans who have enjoyed the thrillsin of racing the on the streets and on the hill for more than 65 years. Visitors have always enjoyed the treasures of Schuyler County: the natural artistry of the gorge of Watkins Glen State Park; the allure of the waters of Seneca Lake; the bounty of our vineyards, orchards and fields; the bountiful farm-to-taste experiences; the variety of shopping and lodging options that fit everyone’s desires… The beautiful hilly terrain surrounding Watkins Glen convinced Argetsinger that this was the right place for European-style racing. Local leaders recognized the possibilities and encouraged his dream. The original 6.6-mile race route ran across asphalt, cement and dirt roads in and around the Village of Watkins Glen, starting and finishing in front of the Schuyler County Courthouse. Thousands of people lined the route – now on the National Register of Historic Places – during race weekends from 1948 to 1952. In 1953, the competition moved to a different course outside of the village, and a 2.3-mile permanent track was built in 1956. True international competition, one of Argetsinger’s foremost goals, began in 1958 with the running of a Formula Libre race. From 1961 to 1980, Watkins Glen was the home of the United States Grand Prix, attracting drivers and fans from around the world. Something After being closed to the public in 1981, with only a few race events run, a renovated and renamed track opened in 1984. As Watkins Glen International, the track has hosted a variety of racing competitions, including NASCAR, IndyCar, at every turna GRANDAM, IMSA and the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association races, which for the last few years have attracted the largest entry list of any vintage racing event in North America.

  • New York Freshwater Fishing Regulations Guide: 2015-16
    NEW YORK Freshwater FISHING2015–16 OFFICIAL REGULATIONS GUIDE VOLUME 7, ISSUE NO. 1, APRIL 2015 Fishing for Muskie www.dec.ny.gov Most regulations are in effect April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016 MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR New York: A State of Angling Opportunity When it comes to freshwater fishing, no state in the nation can compare to New York. Our Great Lakes consistently deliver outstanding fishing for salmon and steelhead and it doesn’t stop there. In fact, New York is home to four of the Bassmaster’s top 50 bass lakes, drawing anglers from around the globe to come and experience great smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing. The crystal clear lakes and streams of the Adirondack and Catskill parks make New York home to the very best fly fishing east of the Rockies. Add abundant walleye, panfish, trout and trophy muskellunge and northern pike to the mix, and New York is clearly a state of angling opportunity. Fishing is a wonderful way to reconnect with the outdoors. Here in New York, we are working hard to make the sport more accessible and affordable to all. Over the past five years, we have invested more than $6 million, renovating existing boat launches and developing new ones across the state. This is in addition to the 50 new projects begun in 2014 that will make it easier for all outdoors enthusiasts to access the woods and waters of New York. Our 12 DEC fish hatcheries produce 900,000 pounds of fish each year to increase fish populations and expand and improve angling opportunities.

  • Dry Sites: an Introduction Matthew Horvath
    Dry Sites: An Introduction Matthew Horvath Dredge material can be used to physically create dry land for the city, especially along the edges of Cayuga Lake. This process is not a new one; in the past both Stewart Park and Cass Park were constructed using dredge material. First an edge of large stone is constructed in the water, which is then filled with dredge material. The edge acts as a barrier, reducing the risk of diffusion of dredged material back into the lake. Creating dry land has multiple beneficial effects for the city. First, it reduces the distance that the dredge material has to be freighted, thus reducing the carbon footprint. Additionally, creation of land on the lake has the ability to increase property values while creating additional property for the city. Cayuga Lake is used mostly by residents as a recreational destination, and the city profits from this use. This alternative would certainly strengthen the user interface with Cayuga Lake by giving residents further reason to visit this public commodity, benefitting both residents and the city alike.

From the historic Hudson River to the majestic Great Lakes, and with hundreds of lakes and thousands of miles of streams from the Adirondacks to the Fingers Lakes, New York offers excitement and challenges for anglers that cannot be beat! The Bass Anglers Sportsman Society selected five of our waters – Cayuga Lake, Oneida Lake, Lake Champlain, Thousand Islands/St. Lawrence River and Lake Erie for their list of the Top 100 Bass Waters of 2013, with the last two listed in the top 20. This year’s guide is focused on trout fishing in the Catskills, also a nationally renowned destination for trout anglers. We continue our efforts to make New York, which is already ranked 2nd in the United States for recreational fishing economic impact, even more attractive as a tourism destination. My “New York Open for Fishing and Hunting” initiative will simplify the purchase of sporting licenses in 2014 and, most importantly, reduce fees. In addition, we will spend more than $4 million to develop new boat launches and fishing access sites so we can expand opportunities for anglers. Over the past three years New York invested $2.5 million in the development of new boat launching facilities on Cuba Lake in Allegany County, the Upper Hudson River in Saratoga County, Lake Champlain in the City of Plattsburgh, and two new facilities on Lake Ontario - Point Peninsula Isthmus and Three Mile Bay, both in Jefferson County.

  • Seneca Lake Angler Diary Letter 2020
    Dear Angler, Thank you for returning your 2020 Seneca Lake angler diary. This is the 48th anniversary of our volunteer angler diary program on Seneca Lake. Data provided by you has been important to our efforts to manage the salmon and trout fisheries in Seneca Lake. Enclosed is a summary of your personal catch information, referenced to the code number on the cover of your diary, a summary of 1973 through 2020 catch statistics, your 2020 diary, and, if needed, a new diary for the 2021 season. If you need additional diaries, please contact our office. A REMINDER: Please follow the directions that are found in your diary book. Unfortunately, we have had to delete various records because of incomplete trip information. • Remember to enter both your starting and ending time for each fishing trip. We cannot use data from trips without start and end times. • Please indicate the target species you are primarily fishing for. • Record the appropriate code “C” if you keep the fish and “R” if you release the fish in the column marked “C/R”. • Only lake trout and rainbow trout have fin clips. Please be sure to write no mark over the fin pictures to indicate that you observed the fins and none were clipped. Leaving it blank means that you did not observe the fish for fin clips. Unfortunately, not much has changed since the 2019 annual diary report. The 2020 fishing season once again showed a declining trend in both cooperators (22) and total trips (236), both all-time lows. It is understandable that with angler success being better in adjacent waterbodies, that trip numbers in Seneca would to continue decrease.
