Adirondack Pond Brook Trout Conservation: Scott Daskiewich

Ever wanted to explore remote wilderness native brook trout ponds in the Adirondaks? Well this is the podcast for you! In this episode I interview Scott Daskiewich the chair of the New York Chapter of Native Fish Coalition on native brook trout conservation and threats in the Adirondak region. We talk about the harms from non-native northern pike, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, yellow perch, golden shiner, Atlantic Salmon, Brown trout, and rainbow trout. We also talk about climate projections for adirondak ponds as well as the phenomenon known as “browning” that threatens many brook trout ponds. scott details some of his own adventures and how dragging a boat or tube miles into a remote stillwater bative brook trout fishery off grid is different than what we have in Pennsylvania. We talk about New York DEC’s new native brook trout pond management plan. All in all this epsiode will take you on a journey to one of the most special and pristine environments on the east coast where a unique native brook trout fishing experience exists. We also talk about opportunities for more native lake trout management in the Adirondaks. #adirondacks #brooktrout #conservation Find Scott and NY NFC here! https://nativefishcoalition.org/new-york FIGHT FOR THE ROADLESS RULE!
