EBTJV Habitat News May 2025
-
The EBTJV is excited to welcome the Tennessee Aquarium as our newest MOU member, bringing us to 39
MOU partners. We share an interview with Stephanie Chance about the Conservation Institute’s response to a
2024 drought event, their recovery efforts for Laurel Dace and Brook Trout, and more.
Here for the research links? In addition to news clips, we’ve compiled a (definitely not exhaustive) list of
publications through mid-2024 related to Brook Trout population dynamics and distribution, genetics and
hatchery influence, ecological interactions, and pollution and environmental impacts.
Speaking of research, please join us in congratulating Vermont’s Jud Kratzer for his recent award on behalf of Vermont FWD for research on wood additions to northern VT streams. Every time we speak to Jud we learn a little more about this technique and its benefits to not just Brook Trout, but also fluvial function and ecosystem health. VFWD’s recent work, in partnership with TU, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and Weyerhaeuser Corporation, demonstrated how wood addition traps sediment and reduces sediment and nutrient loads
downstream.

Wild Trout Flyrodders
-
One of the beauties of the Catskills is how much wildlife and how few people reside here. And yet how relatively close it is to both New York City and other major regional population centers…close enough for a good number of weekend fly fishers. These facts make the Catskills a poor place for a traditional fly fishing club, but a great place for a club like ours…a club that meets on weekends during the fly fishing season so members can fish the best spots afterwards!
That’s our concept, and it seems to work well for us. We have members who live near the near our rivers, guides who work on our rivers, weekend or second home owners who work outside the Catskills, etc.
So our members come from an area that includes but also stretches beyond the Catskills, from New York City, from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Upstate New York. And while our FFF member e-mail list exceeds 200, our active member list is small but growing. We look forward to seeing you at one of our meetings.
