June Trout Sampling POSTPONED: New Dates Listed

Good morning,

Due to the very high temperatures we will experience this week, we are postponing the Wiscoy Creek electrofishing.  I don’t want to stress the fish more than they already will be with warm water temps and also it’s not likely to be good for people in waders.  Below are our rescheduled days.  I will be sending a separate email later about the late July sampling dates.  Being July, we may have these issues again, so be sure to check your emails prior to coming out to make sure we don’t have to postpone again.  Sorry for the inconvenience☹.

Sampling re-schedule

Wednesday July 2nd – Wiscoy Creek:  Meet at Albro Road at 9:45 AM.  This is located just off NYS Rt 39, approximately two miles west of Pike.  We will be doing a long sample site here, split into two sections, with a lunch break between them.

Tuesday July 8th – Wiscoy Creek:  Meet at 9:30 AM at the picnic pavilion at the Wyoming County Fairgrounds, near the old Pike dam site.  The entrance is off Rt 19 in Pike.  We will be doing a site here, having a hot dog lunch, and then doing a site at Boy Scout camp Sam Wood downstream of Pike in the afternoon.   If you are planning to join us for the hot dog lunch, please let me know ahead of time so I know how many dogs to bring!  Thanks😊.

If you need better directions, or have other questions, please let me know.
