  • 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.

Introduction: In 1990 The Town of Geneseo purchased Long Point Park from the LaGrou family with funding assistance from the State of New York. The goal was to maintain the land as a public park and preserve public access to the shoreline on the west side of Conesus Lake. Since that time, the park has been converted to open space. Summertime swimming programs continue as well as scheduled events such as the Fiddlers Picnic, Summer Craft Fair, and other private and public gatherings.

  • 2017 New York Loon Census Results
    ADIRONDACK CENTER FOR LOON CONSERVATION 2017 NEW YORK LOON CENSUS RESULTS On July 15, 2017, more than 450 observers participated in the 17th Annual New York Loon Census, observing a total of 633 loons on 155 (81%) of the 192 New York Loon Census lakes, including 544 (86%) adult, 81 (13%) chick, and 8 (1%) immature loons. “This is the first year since we have been on Garnet Lake (30+ years) that we have had 2 successful nesting and hatchings! Each family has 1 surviving chick. We are able to count 4 visiting loons enjoying the lake today.” ~Garnet Lake “They seemed very relaxed - hooting to the kids. Those are some big healthy looking chicks! Also there must have been a lot of fish - they just skimmed their bills in the water to come up with a fish. I don't think I've ever seen that before.” ~Jones Pond Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation 15 Broadway, Saranac Lake, NY 12983 Mailing: P.O. Box 195, Ray Brook, NY 12977 518-354-8636 [email protected] www.adkloon.org www.facebook.com/adkloon Of the 256 Census reports received in 2017, 253 were included in the analysis, as three reports had observations that were conducted outside the Census hour or were duplicated efforts on a lake. “Population in our area is increasing. Observed a group of 7 adults earlier in spring. As we were observing the second pair this morning, they both began the tremolo call. A minute later a bald eagle flew directly over with an eye on the loons.” ~St.

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.

P.O. Box 84, LaFayette, NY Nancy Mueller ii Acknowledgements The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (NYSDEC) Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program’s (CSLAP’s) expansion into the Finger Lakes was made possible by funding from the NYS Environmental Protection Fund-Ocean and Great Lakes Program. This funding allowed 22 sites on the 11 Finger Lakes to be added to the program in the spring of 2017. The program increased in 2018, with 6 additional sites on three of the largest lakes, Seneca, Cayuga, and Keuka. CSLAP in the Finger Lakes has allowed the NYSDEC to: (1) collect critical water quality data on these important natural resources, (2) assess contemporary water quality in the Finger Lakes in the context of recent and continuing water quality concerns, (3) make comparisons of the water quality between the lakes in 2017 and 2018, and (4) continue preliminary trend analyses for individual lakes over time.
