In March at the Catskill Fish Hatchery, DEC staff fin clipped two strains of brown trout: the Rome strain and the Romiskany strain. Although the same species, these strains have slight genetic differences that affect their life history traits, such as growth and spawning. DEC Fish Pathologist Andy Noyes explains that the Romiskany strain originated from Rome strain brown trout that were previously stocked in Oriskany Creek in Madison and Oneida counties over 30 years ago. This strain is distingu

What’s “cooking” at Catskill Fish Hatchery? Each year Hatchery staff collect 2.1 million brown trout eggs. These eggs supply much of the brown trout needed for stocking across the state. The hatchery uses light control to “fool” the brown trout into thinking fall has arrived, prompting them to spawn earlier than they naturally would. This allows enough time to grow them to the nine-inch stocking size target in time for stocking the following Spring. The Catskill Hatchery stocks about 300,000 bro

Why do we toss trout when stocking? During trout stocking, hatchery staff look for appropriate locations along waterways to toss trout. This toss helps energize the fish and gets water moving through their gills. We do not dip or place the fish near the edge of the water where they are more prone to predation and other dangers. Tossing the trout also increases stocking efficiency and staff safety by preventing falls when carrying heavy nets of fish near slippery streambanks. Fish & Wildlife staf

You can tell Spring is just around the corner when the rainbow trout begin their spawning run in the Finger Lakes tributaries. The spring spawning run is a great opportunity for DEC Biologists to sample the rainbow trout population. This week on Catharine Creek, the main tributary to Seneca Lake, fisheries staff from our Region 8 (Western Finger Lakes) Office were electrofishing for trout. Electrofishing, a sampling method that uses pulses of electricity in the water, is the best way to collect

Check out our latest video to learn more about what DEC Fisheries staff are doing to preserve heritage (native) strain brook trout in New York State.
