Saturday was a beautiful morning on the Amawalk. Instead of fly rods, 20 volunteers carried the Redd Survey App as they walked the stream looking for brown trout spawning sites. The group ranged from anglers with 30+ years on the Amawalk to first-time visitors, plus a fisheries biologist.
It was our first survey of the entire Amawalk Outlet, from the dam to the Muscoot Reservoir. Five groups covered it in segments. We found 18 potential redds to revisit, some with large brown trout on them, and hauled out three bags of trash.
We plan to make this an annual event. Understanding the Amawalk’s wild trout spawning habitat helps guide future conservation and restoration work. Thank you to everyone who came out to help!
