![]() No management changes are proposed as a result of this survey. ![]() Rain brought the lake level back up to full pool within 48 hours of the survey. Tiger muskellunge captured was fairly small, 10 inches, most likely representative of the approximately 1,700 tiger muskellunge stocked in late September 2015 by the DEC.ĭue to summer drought conditions, and a permitted water withdrawal, the lake level dropped throughout the summer and was about 2 feet below full pool at the time of tiger musky stocking (September 22, 2015). Sixty-one of the captured walleye were age 0, presumably from the spring 2015 stocking as very little natural reproduction occurs in this lake. Walleyes ranged in size from 7.1 to 24.4 inches and ranged in age from 0 to 9+ years. The catch rate of walleye was 40.6 fish per hour, a substantial improvement over the 2013 survey at 13.7 fish per hour, and 2011 at 4.7 fish per hour. The entire perimeter of the lake was sampled, and 67 walleye were collected, along with 1 tiger muskellunge. Night-time boat electrofishing was conducted on Septemto assess the current status of the walleye population in the reservoir as well as to attempt to assess the tiger muskellunge population. Surplus were available in 2015, resulting in 7,800 stocked this year. Walleye (6,600 pond fingerlings) are stocked every other year in Jamesville Reservoir. White perch, pumpkinseed sunfish, bluegill, black crappie, and yellow perch are also found in the reservoir. The main gamefish in the reservoir are largemouth and smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, tiger musky and walleye. Older bathymetric map from NYSDEC – the water depths in the south end of the reservoir have changed considerably Fish ![]()
