TROUT- RIVERS & STREAMS – Many are letting us know that trout fishing continues to be good to very good. The main advice is to “move around” and to “try different offerings” as the fish are spread out and have been “finicky” at times. Flows remain near-perfect for fishing in many areas (see stream flow graphic on page 4), temperatures continue to be comfortable for both trout and anglers (although look for more heat next week), and the weather forecast is good. While not currently an issue anywhere, you can check stream flows anytime (real time stream flow data from 68 USGS gauging stations can be found at the USGS web site). Anglers are finding good action at many areas throughout the state. Anglers should remember to try a number of tactics and methods until you find what the triggers the fish to hit. Insect hatches are near peak in terms of the diversity of species at one time.

McCLOY THE NEGRO IN FRANCE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY PRESS Copyright© 1961 by the University of Kentucky Press Printed in the United States of America by the Division of Printing, University of Kentucky Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 61-6554 FOREWORD THE PURPOSE of this study is to present a history of the Negro who has come to France, the reasons for his coming, the record of his stay, and the reactions of the French to his presence. It is not a study of the Negro in the French colonies or of colonial conditions, for that is a different story. Occasion­ ally, however, reference to colonial happenings is brought in as necessary to set forth the background. The author has tried assiduously to restrict his attention to those of whose Negroid blood he could be certain, but whenever the distinction has been significant, he has considered as mulattoes all those having any mixture of Negro and white blood.

The ECOs followed one duck hunter back to his house on the water and as the Officers pulled up to his dock, ECO Farrish noticed a floating fish tote attached to his dock. The hunter had shot one black duck and had no other hunting or navigation violations. The Officers started making their way back to their patrol boat when Officer Eastwood asked, “whose tote is this, and what’s in it?” The hunter replied, “It’s mine and it’s just some green crabs for bait. Officer Farrish opened one side of the tote. Inside were eight tiny blackfish, along with some green crabs. He admitted that he was using them for Striped Bass bait and wanted a break because he had not caught one Striped Bass while using them as bait all season.

  • Saltwater Fishing on Long Island
    New York State Department of Environmental Conservation SALTWATER FISHING ON LONG ISLAND JANUARY AND FEBRUARY Few party boats, open or charter, operate. Those that do usually sail on weekends and holidays only at this time of the year. Tautog (blackfish) and Atlantic cod are the main species sought, although whiting (silver hake), Atlantic herring and red hake (ling) also will be caught. Likely ports are Sheepshead Bay (Brooklyn), Freeport, Point Lookout, Captree State Park and Montauk. In some years, herring may be caught in numbers at such areas as the Jones Beach Piers, Captree Piers, Shinnecock Canal, Mount Sinai Harbor, Centerport, and other places where there is access. Some white perch may be caught at Sunken Meadow State Park and some of the south shore rivers. In years of hard winter and thick ice, however, this is the time to maintain and repair your fishing tackle. MARCH, APRIL AND MAY Tautog, cod, pollock and large winter flounder are caught these months by anglers aboard Montauk- based open and charter boats. Please remember, the winter flounder season does not open until the third Saturday in March. Once they start in, flounder will attract anglers to ports all around Long Island. Good catches may be made through May (and well into June in some years). Popular ports for open and charter boat anglers include: Babylon, Bayshore, Center Moriches, Sheepshead Bay, Island Park, Freeport, Captree State Park, Greenport, Port Jefferson, Mattituck, Montauk and Huntington. Rental boat stations may be found at Island Park, Seaford, East Moriches, Hampton Bays, Montauk, Mattituck Inlet, New Suffolk, Mt.
