  1. This is only one incident reported in the weekly Encon Reports from the DEC website.   The Monroe County Fisheries Advisory Board was updated last spring on planned enforcement activities, and has heard that significant efforts have been undertaken on the Genesee, but these tickets had not reached the docket as of last month.  I would anticipate that we should hear a report on this at the SOL meeting next year.
     
    If these efforts are to be successful, the District Attorney needs to also be involved in insuring that the violations are viewed as serious.   One thing we could all do toward that happening is to communicate with our representatives about the need to update the fine structures for these offenses.  There is little incentive for someone coming from out of state to purchase a license if the fine for fishing without one is $25.00, and the cost of the NR license is $50.00, or 28.00 for a 7 day.  Littering fines should also go up, these schedules were often set back when you could buy a new car for under 2K.  The City of Rochester also commented that it is a violation of City code to be on the Maplewood side of the river, that area is posted as off limits from the top, and we may see more City of Rochester Police Department  enforcement of the trespass regulation, which would alleviate a lot of the commercial "fishing"  up under the falls.


    I am pretty new to fishing the Rochester area and the maplewood side is confusing to me. If it is "off limits" why do they have fish disposal signs before you walk down?

  2. I love eating them. My favorite thing to do is boil the meat for a few hours. It makes it very tender. Then you can break it up for stew or to fry. Nothing better than some coated in frying magic and fried.
