NY DEC Trout Steam Management
As a representative of an organization with an interest in trout stream management activities of the Department of Environmental Conservation, I invite you to attend one of the upcoming public meetings that we have scheduled on the subject. I encourage you to get the word out to your membership and anyone else you know who has an interest in inland trout stream management.
In Region 7 we have scheduled two public meetings in October in order to engage the public in an examination of how our current catch rate based objective for stream trout management fits the purpose of satisfying the desires of today’s recreational trout stream anglers. The first meeting in the Region is set for Wednesday, October 18th at the Paul V Moore High School Auditorium, 44 School Drive, Central Square, NY 13036 and the second will be held on Thursday, October 26th at the Whitney Point High School Auditorium, 10 Keibel Road, Whitney Point, NY 13862. Both meetings will be held from 6:30PM to 9:00PM.
For more information regarding our inland trout stream management program and the upcoming meetings visit our website at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/111015.html\.
I hope you will take the time to share this with your fellow anglers who may have an interest in this issue and I’m looking forward to good turnouts and productive meetings.

David Scott,
Sorry to get back to you so late about your question, the site is still in its beginning stages and we are still working on format and content. Please check out some of the other pages as we are just getting more posts with calander infomation and other updates. As for projects we are just starting the search for new places that could benefit from our help, we have several sites to be considered Onondaga Creek, Butternut Creek, Limestone Creek is one we worked on a few years back in the town of Manlius, Mill Run Park section and it still has another phase or two to be completed. Nine Mile is always in need of stream cleanups and we just finished a Earth Day stream cleanup of Furnace Brook on Saturday in the city Elmwood Park section. Our next chapter meeting will be stream side on Nine Mile Creek to review our plantings from last year as well as fish a bit, meeting starts 5:00 at the new parking lot off 174 just past Jakes Fly Shop hope to see you there and discuss some of our other projects.
