In this case the person making the real money decisions is Central office in Albany. The Director for Fisheries and Wildlife is Patricia Riexinger. The email listed for her, is the general fish and wildlife email. So real transparency here....

All legitimate clubs are part of Federations in NYS from that they send representatives to the Conservation Council they are the DEC advisory board. You want to make a difference I would encourage you all to join your local club get involved and become the federation representative for that club. The president for the Conservation council lives in Oswego county so there is regional representation. He was not at the State of the Lake the other night......Squeaky Wheel gets the grease!!! ELOSTA has been looking for a federation rep for 3 years. There are a lot of keyboard jockies out there but very few who step forward to a leadership role. You want change you have to get involved!! I am sure LOTSA has the same positions for the western end of the state.

Food will be served all day by the auxillury!

Great turnout in Pulaski last night. We had 137 on hand. One of the biggest crowds in recent memory. I am digesting all my notes today but I came away with being even more leary of our hatchery situation. This recirculation idea may not be the best. They already have enough issues at the Salmon River hatchery and adding a recirc system will only compound those issues. Funny they have the money for the recirc system but not to spend on the wells which by the way wont get any more attention until the summer of 2016..... I have stopped thinking about asking for more and just pushing to maintain what we have....

Here is an update and I will add to it as I get more info. We will have raffle tickets for a Lowrance HDS Gen 2 touch Fishfinder/GPS combo for sale at a 1.00 each. Proceeds from that and the 1.00 entry help us send kids to DEC camp every summer. Doors will open at 9 am. Capt. Pete will be speaking at 11 am sharp. I am anticipating a very large crowd so you will want to be there early to get a seat. We will do our best to accommodate everybody. Fat Nancys has stepped up with some Great show specials- They will have a Brown Trout rod and reel special for 89.99 Bay Rat Lures for 7.99- These are the hottest new stick baits to hit the market! ProTrolls buy 3 get 1 free Okuma Cold Water rods buy 3 get 1 free Custom Painted Flashers 9.99 And they will also have with them all the New Stinger Flashers and Spoons for sale. ELOSTA looks forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!

See everyone tonight in Pulaski! 630 sharp

See everyone on Saturday!

I have a brand new in the box Raymarine rudder reference for sale. I already had one on the boat when I installed my new autopilot last year. $200.00 I will be at the ELOSTA tackle sale this weekend or I can ship it at the buyers expense. SOLD!

I can become a bull head pro for a day! Maybe I can bring the 16 side console down...Slap some stickers on her and play ball! HHHmmmm time to find an earthworm sponsor..

LOL!!! Be sure and put it your list of major Accomplishments Rick!

Ford vs Chevy is for the Cannon, Scotty debate. Owning Big Jons would be like owning a Toyota...It looks like a truck just doesn't perform like one!

In terms of overall it is to soon but as of the meeting they were 2 days into Chinook egg take and they were half done with 2 million eggs so far and saw no issue with wrapping up Chinook egg take probably early this week. Plenty of fish at the hatchery for the egg take.

We had a nice crowd of 30 or so for our annual meeting at the hatchery. I apologize that I have not posted a summary I have been away from my computer. I will try and get one out on this thread. In the meantime it was regurgitated material from the meeting in Rochester... They are all on the same page...

There is a balcony inside you can see the indoor raceways from. Also you can still see the outdoor raceways if there is enough daylight. See you there.
