  • 2014 Aquatic Invasive Species Surveys of New York City Water Supply Reservoirs Within the Catskill/Delaware and Croton Watersheds
    2014 aquatic invasive species surveys of New York City water supply reservoirs within the Catskill/Delaware and Croton Watersheds Megan Wilckens1, Holly Waterfield2 and Willard N. Harman3 INTRODUCTION The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) oversees the management and protection of the New York City water supply reservoirs, which are split between two major watershed systems, referred to as East of Hudson Watersheds (Figure 1) and Catskill/Delaware Watershed (Figure 2). The DEP is concerned about the presence of aquatic invasive species (AIS) in reservoirs because they can threaten water quality and water supply operations (intake pipes and filtration systems), degrade the aquatic ecosystem found there as well as reduce recreational opportunities for the community. Across the United States, AIS cause around $120 billion per year in environmental damages and other losses (Pimentel et al. 2005). The SUNY Oneonta Biological Field Station was contracted by DEP to conduct AIS surveys on five reservoirs; the Ashokan, Rondout, West Branch, New Croton and Kensico reservoirs. Three of these reservoirs, as well as major tributary streams to all five reservoirs, were surveyed for AIS in 2014. This report details the survey results for the Ashokan, Rondout, and West Branch reservoirs, and Esopus Creek, Rondout Creek, West Branch Croton River, East Branch Croton River and Bear Gutter Creek. The intent of each survey was to determine the presence or absence of the twenty- three AIS on the NYC DEP’s AIS priority list (Table 1). This list was created by a subcommittee of the Invasive Species Working Group based on a water supply risk assessment.

  • 2014 Fishing Derby Tips
    2014 Fishing Derby Tips Dear Derby Participant: Most participants believe they have to catch a large trophy fish to win one of the 173 cash prizes totaling $7,560.00 in this year’s fishing derby. This is not so, in 2013, 40 of the prizes totally $1235.00 were not awarded due to no entries. I have compiled the following list of fishing tips you can use to take advantage of this situation and improve your chances to win a prize in 2014. 1. The 20 reservoirs that comprise the New York City Reservoir System offer year round fishing opportunities within minutes of area residents. In addition, there are hundreds of local streams, lakes and ponds as well as the Hudson and Delaware Rivers, and Long Island Sound, which offer excellent fishing opportunities. The Southern New York Fishing Directory is an angler’s Bible for not only the young inexperienced angler but to the older veteran fishermen looking for new places to fish. Order a copy when you register for the 2014 Derby. 2. Historically March, September, October and November offer the best opportunity to win a prize. In March fishing activity is at it’s lowest due to the poor weather conditions, unsafe ice, and the boating season is just beginning on many of the NYC reservoirs. Take advantage of good weather breaks and fish for trout near the bridges and open water areas using live bait and casting spoons. Fish the warmer water inlets for pre spawn crappies and perch. Most trout and panfish caught in March will win prizes.

We work throughout the Hudson River watershed to support community-based watershed groups, help municipalities work together on water issues, and serve as a collective voice across the region. We are a collaborative network of community groups, organizations, municipalities, agencies, and individuals. The Hudson River Watershed Alliance hosts educational and capacity-building events, including the Annual Watershed Conference to share key information and promote networking, Watershed Roundtables to bring groups together to share strategies, workshops to provide trainings, and a breakfast lecture series that focuses on technical and scientific innovations. We provide technical and strategic assistance on watershed work, including fostering new initiatives and helping sustain groups as they meet new challenges. What is a watershed group? A watershed is the area of land from which water drains into a river, stream, or other waterbody. Water flows off the land into a waterbody by way of rivers and streams, and underground through groundwater aquifers. The smaller streams that contribute to larger rivers are called tributaries. Watersheds are defined by the lay of the land, with mountains and hills typically forming their borders.

  • Rondout Creek Experimental Trout Stocking (2019)
    Bureau of Fisheries Technical Brief #tb319014 Rondout Creek Experimental Trout Stocking (Survey #: 319014) Michael DiSarno, Region 3 Fisheries 12/11/19 Rondout Creek, a tributary to the Hudson River, supports a diverse fishery from its origin in the Catskill Mountains to its confluence with the Hudson River in Kingston, NY. The section below Rondout Reservoir to Honk Lake near Kerhonkson is primarily considered a quality trout fishery. This section receives a cold-water discharge from Rondout Reservoir which provides trout a thermal refuge during summer months. Currently, a stocking policy of 1,850 yearling and 240 two-year-old domestic strain brown trout are stocked in this section on an annual basis. During the spring of 2018, an experimental split stocking occurred of domestic strain brown trout and a hybrid strain (domestic x wild) brown trout. All trout received a fin clip to determine survivability of each strain. Backpack electrofishing occurred at four locations during August of 2018 to sample for composition of stocked trout at the time of the survey. Only six stocked trout were encountered with five of these fish having a fin clip of the hybrid strain brown trout. The other stocked trout caught had no fin clip, and no brown trout caught had a domestic strain fin clip. Domestic and hybrid strain brown trout 50 were again stocked during 2019, and 45 electrofishing was conducted on 8/22/19 Wild Stocked - RV Fin Clip Stocked - No Clip and 8/23/19 at similar sites which were 40 sampled during 2018. All brown trout 35 stocked in 2019 had a fin clip as follows: 30 742 hybrid brown trout with a right ventral 25 (RV) fin clip, 258 domestic brown trout 20 with a RV fin clip and 1,000 domestic Number/Group 15 strain brown trout with a left ventral fin clip.
