New York anglers seek protection of Saratoga Lake walleyes, ask for earlier close to season

The New York Department of Environmental Conservation is reviewing whether to change the fishing season dates for walleye amid concerns that fish are spawning earlier because of warmer weather, leaving them susceptible to unsportsmanlike anglers targeting them as they spawn or prepare to spawn.
The DEC confirmed that state fisheries leaders are discussing a potential move of the season closure date after New York Outdoor News sought the agency’s comment on a recent request by a sportsmen’s group that asked for season changes after witnessing anglers targeting walleyes on Saratoga Lake as they gathered to spawn.

Coming up July 10-14 nearly 130 New York student athletes will head to Michigan to compete in the USA High School Clay Target League national competition. As you’ll see from this story, the New York league continues to grow, which it has been doing steadily for nearly a decade, something that’s been a pleasure to watch.

Carp tagged by Illinois DNR, USGS appear affected by underwater acoustics used as deterrent

Halfway through the study, the results are promising.
Marybeth Brey, a research fish biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and Christa Woodley, a research biologist with the Army Corps of Engineers, co-lead the project. They designed and installed a 16-speaker soundbar at Lock 19 in the Mississippi River, a section of the river between Keokuk, Iowa, and Hamilton, Ill.
