PRESIDENT’S REPORT— Dennis Carlson
www.keukalakeassoc.org PROTECTING THE QUALITY OF THE LAKE
Our 2019 KLAeido-scope of Keuka is available at local vendors. It makes a great holiday gift to remind us year round of our won-derful and pic-turesque lake!
Kla membership Renewal for 2019
Membership renewal forms for 2019 will be sent out March 1, 2019. To renew, you may return to the KLA office the enclosed form with your check or credit card info. You may also renew on-line at our website (www.keukalakeassociation.org) with your credit card. Whichever way you choose to re-new, please include any up-dated information. Also you may select to receive our monthly e-newsletter and e-announcements and choose to receive our quarterly newsletter by e-mail, regular mail or both. We look forward to your continued support for 2019 to help us maintain our mission. Please let the KLA Office know if you do not receive this annual renewal. Thank you.
The KLA Officers,
Directors & Admin. Asst. all wish our KLA
members a very safe & enjoyable
holiday season and a Happy New Year!
Not only was it a heavy working season on Keuka for the KLA, this activity will continue through the winter months to prepare us to hit the ground running this spring. Although we continue to make progress on the issues we face as a watershed and as an Association, it is a step by step process either from the funding standpoint or human re-sources who, as you know, are volunteers. In reference to the last statement above, we actively seek grant funding where available and resource collaboration with other associations to benefit from a greater knowledge or ex-pertise base. This also includes the Towns that are in the Keu-ka Watershed represented by KWIC and specifically the Town of Jerusalem that played a significant role in the Starry Stone-wart hand pull in Branchport. Another area of concern is that of HAB’s that have shown a presence in Keuka numerous times late this season as they have on most, if not all, of the Finger Lakes. This is a very diffi-cult one to get our hands around since it may very well be re-lated to lake temperature and rain events. You will read much more about this and all the above in other articles in this news-letter. On a closing note, I want to stress the KLA need for Board Members with financial backgrounds and Board Members that have the time to lead the charge on volunteer efforts. From the general membership we need members that are willing and able to step forward when the call for volunteers goes out. This the only way we can get the job done. Should you be interest-ed in becoming part of the KLA Board please contact the KLA Office.

2018 Water Quality Summit Maria Hudson
The 1st Keuka Water Quality Summit was held in a packed conference room at the Keuka College Library on August 20th. The Summit was open to the public in order to present scientific data showing the current “State of the Lake”, on-going trends and is-sues such as Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) Plans for the protection and preservation of Keuka Lake were outlined. The purpose of this Summit and those in the future is to ed-ucate, raise awareness and provide timely relevant information to all interested stake-holders. Presenting at the Summit were Dr. Lisa Cleckner of the Finger Lakes Institute in Geneva, Dr. Tim Sellers of Keuka College, Maria Hudson, Water Quality for the Keuka lake Association and Tony Prestigiacomo from the Dept. of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Finger Lakes HUB. Presentations were followed by a lively “Question/Answer” panel discussion.
Dr. Cleckner opened the Summit and also served as a moderator. She described the role of the Finger Lakes Institute in the region in research, education and community outreach on water quality issues such as invasive species and pollution as well as on-going research on detection and control of Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB’s) Dr. Sellers’ presentation focused on the data from 25 years (and counting) of water sampling in Keuka Lake. The samples are ana-lyzed for indicators of water quality and productivity of the lake. Dr. Sellers showed that since the ‘90’s the quality of the Lake has been improving and that it is “oligotrophic”, which means it is very clear and
clean. However, there is a slight trend showing increased nutrients, particularly phosphorus, and also of chlorophyll. Phosphorus is concerning since it can cause algal blooms and chlorophyll is an indicator of green algae. Maria Hudson described the three Water Quality Monitoring programs the KLA is currently running. These programs all depend on trained volunteer Citizen Scientists who take samples in the lake and, starting in 2018, the streams. These intrepid volunteers sample from a boat or clamber down banks to wade into the streams throughout the season from April – October, rain or shine. The first is the 25 yr. old program from which Dr. Sellers bases his presentation. Then last year, in solidarity with 11 other Finger Lakes the KLA joined the Citizen Statewide Lake Assessment Program (CSLAP). Finally, a Stream Sampling program was initiated as a pilot with the DEC. The purpose of this program is to collect data on pollution coming into the lake. This is the first of its kind in the Finger Lakes region since the data it collects will be certified by the DEC for use in applying for funding for watershed restoration. Ms. Hudson also presented a brief description of the Fishery and previewed the introduction of cisco to the lake. Finally, Tony Prestigiacomo tied the Summit together. Tony explained the role of the DEC HUB in our region. He then proceeded to describe the process to put together a 9 Element (9E) Plan to mitigate sources of pollution in the Keuka Lake watershed. When completed the KLA will submit the 9E Plan to the State to obtain the funding for watershed restoration. The question/answer period followed with concerns ranging from “should I ferti-lize my lawn?” to “can I drink the lake water?” to “do we have goby?” and many others. Several people volunteered to become part of the sampling programs. The 2018 Water Quality Summit was considered by all to be a successful event. We hope to see everyone and more again in August of 2019 for more information and updates on Keuka Lake’s health and future.

Citizen Scientist Volunteers Needed for Shoreline Monitoring Maria Hudson, KLA Water Quality and DEC CSLAP
Twenty two years ago, my husband and I bought a small 1860 cottage on the West Branch of Keuka Lake. Back then each morning we would walk the shore looking for glass shards or “pulltabs” that might endanger our toddlers. These days, especially in mid to late summer, we look for inva-sive species and algae blooms. Do you regularly “monitor” your shoreline? Next season the Keuka Lake As-sociation would like to launch a Shoreline Monitoring Program. Similar to the Stream Team piloted this past summer, the Shoreline Monitoring Program would collect data compiled by trained volunteers over the course of approximately 10 weeks from mid-July thru September. The data would be reported to the Dept. of Environmental Conservation and used to help determine the extent of threats from invasive species, run-off from storm events and Harmful Algal Blooms. We would begin to understand: Where, When, How Much and How Often these threats arise on our shores. This information is vital to understanding how to develop strategies to protect Keuka Lake in the future. Can you help? We need a “ring around” the lake of shoreline owners who would be willing to be trained to monitor and report observations on their smart phones and possibly take samples on their shores on a weekly basis during the summer months. We also need people with IT experience to help build our smart phone application and data management plan. For more information and/or to volunteer, Please contact: Maria Hudson [email protected]
Lake level—Dick Osgood
Managing a dynamic natural body of water is humbling. Keuka Lake is no exception. Its watershed is large and intense rain in one area of the watershed may be offset by a lack of precipitation elsewhere. The gate manager strives to maintain the lake in the desired Corps of Engineers curve and when it isn't in the curve, they respond accordingly. This year has had its peaks and valleys but for the most part lake levels were what most would call acceptable. Our lake level recorder has experienced problems and we have had problems with our internet provider. We are working to have a more reliable consistent recording device and mechanism in the future. Our device may need repair or replacement. If so, we will keep everyone informed of our plan of action.
The dam repair at the Main Street bridge in Penn Yan is currently delayed. Keuka Lake Outlet Com-pact (KLOC) is actively working to secure a grant to aid in this repair and the commissioners are working to insure that the application is in the correct format necessary for approval. These funds, when secured, will go a long way into correcting some of the prob-lems at the dam. On another note concerning the dam, The DEC still hasn't responded to KLOC's application to change the classification of the dam. Not reclassifying the dam could lead to higher costs for the municipalities that make up the Keuka Lake Outlet Compact.

Water Quality Committee Mark Morris
We had a very busy summer in water quality with Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and Aquatic In-vasive species (AIS) leading the way. Harmful algal blooms (HAB’s) are our biggest new threat. We’ve had some suspected HAB’s which resulted in beach closings & private residence sampling. You’ll see 2 articles by Water Quality Committee Co-Chair Maria Hudson on: 1) the “Water Quality Summit” held on Au-gust 20 at Keuka College aimed at educating those who use and benefit from the Keuka Lake watershed, and 2) a Request for Volunteers for our new Shoreline Monitoring program. The consensus view is that long term solution to HAB’s is to reduce nutrients going into the lake. NYS Depart-ment of Environmental Conservation (DEC) & Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) require an updated watershed management plan, called a Nine Element (9E) Plan to allow us to be eligible to request funding for projects that address the causes of HABs. As we reported in our September Newsletter, we decided to join forces with Seneca Lake to apply for a De-partment of State (DOS) Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) grant to fund a 9E plan for both lakes. Working with leaders of Seneca Lake Pure Waters (SLPWA), Seneca Watershed Intermunicipal Organization (SWIO), Keuka Lake Intermunicipal Cooperative (KWIC), and KLA, we submitted a CFA grant request for $360k to fund the preparation of a 9E plan. We hope to have approval around year-end and then begin to work on the 3 year project. We will be hiring a consultant with significant experience with HAB’s & watershed management plans. If approved, this work will be done by Ecologic and Anchor/QEA. We completed the final sampling for our water quality program, CSLAP and the new stream monitoring pro-grams in October. Dr. Tim Sellers will analyze and report early next year. Our new Cornell Cooperative Extension Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) adviser, Laura Bailey has started and is coming up to speed quickly. She has 2 articles in this newsletter: 1) Starry Stonewort Management Efforts, and 2) Observations from KLA’s Watercraft Steward Program. I would like to add that we have also had great teamwork with KWIC, Keuka College, the Boy Scouts, Isaak Walton League on these programs KWIC continues to focus on waste management via septic inspections, new septic installations, and correc-tions with failed systems. This effort has been well led by Yates County Soil and Water Director, Colby Pe-tersen. KLA remains very committed to fulfilling our Mission to Preserve and Protect Keuka Lake. KLA is working with all of its partners: Cornell Cooperative Extension, Yates County Soil and Water, KWIC, Keuka College, DEC, Finger Lakes Institute, FL Regional Watershed Alliance, SLPWA, SWIO and others to identify approaches to mitigate the impact of HABs and SSW. KLA priorities with regard to water quality will be: (1) monitor the lake, (2) continuing education to make us all sensitive to AIS and HABs and the damaging impact they can have on the lake, (3) continued focus on the success of KWIC, (4) taking steps to identify and reduce the causes of HABs, and (5) help secure funding for the extremely challenging issues of HABs and AIS.

Observations from Keuka Lake Association’s Watercraft Steward Program
Laura Bailey, AIS Advisor, CCE of Yates County
Over the past four years of Keuka Lake Association’s (KLA) watercraft steward program, the knowledge both gained and imparted increased season after
season. In the spring of 2015, the watercraft steward program began its first season supported by the efforts of volunteers – the year before re-ceiving the three year grant from DEC – and now, at the end of the 2018 season, we’ve reached the last year of the grant. During the first year of KLA’s volunteer supported watercraft steward program, it was observed that the majority of watercraft users encountered were generally unaware of aquatic invasive species present in Keuka Lake and unfamiliar with pre-ventative measures they could practice to pre-vent their spread. Although KLA watercraft stew-ards did not directly ask watercraft users if they were familiar with AIS or “clean, drain, dry” as was done in subsequent years, it was record that 68% of individuals encountered in 2015 took edu-cational materials, which demonstrates that the information was unfamiliar to them at that time. With the assistance of grant funding in 2016, the program was able to hire fulltime watercraft stew-ards which allowed for outreach and data collec-tion on a consistent schedule at regular launch sites: Keuka Lake State Park, Penn Yan Village, Urbana and limited coverage was provided at Finger Lakes Museum, as well as Severne KLA stewards assisted with the removal of over 3,300 organisms from watercrafts. Of those organisms, more than 700 were removed prior to a watercraft being launched in Keuka Lake. The remaining approximately 2,600 were removed from water-crafts upon their retrieval from Keuka Lake which prevented transportation of those organisms into another waterbody. The difference in the number of organisms re-moved from watercrafts launching versus those retrieving can be associated with the increased presence of watercraft stewards across the Fin-ger Lakes region and NYS. Stewards across the region and state have been assisting watercraft users with organism removal as they engage in sharing educational information and teaching
“clean, drain, dry” practices. At the end of the 2018 season, 94% of watercraft users reported to KLA’s stewards they had previously encountered a steward in NYS. KLA’s stewards aided in an effort to prevent further spread of AIS locally, re-gionally, and statewide.
More than half (59.4%) of all watercraft users en-countered by KLA stewards reported that they took measures to prevent the spread of AIS by the end of the 2018 season. Individuals reporting that they did not take “clean, drain, dry” measures was 40.6%. This percentage may seem like a relatively high number of individuals not taking preventative measures, but it can be understood in more detail by examining reasons reported for not taking measures: 12.3% were launching their boat for the first time (e.g., new purchase, docking it at residence for the season and had taken preventative measures at end of last season, etc.), 4.5% do not visit another wa-terbody and therefore do not feel the necessity to
take measures upon each launching/retrieving, individuals reporting no action without an expla-nation was 22.3%, for various reasons 1.06% were not asked if they took measures, 0.32% of interactions were reported as unknown, and only

0.12% of watercraft users refused interaction with a steward. Even though only less than 1% of watercraft users refused interaction, which is a highly encouraging percentage, encountering this scenario can be discouraging to a steward, so many thanks are due to our watercraft stew-ards, most of whom returned to the launches for multiple seasons. Thanks are also due to those who volunteered their time to support KLA’s watercraft steward program, not only during the first year when it was a volunteer supported effort, but for season after season. A requirement of the DEC grant was commitment to a $33,000 in-kind contribu-tion over the 3 year grant period, which was sur-passed. KLA is also proud to report that none of the grant funds were allocated to any activity oth-er than direct interaction with watercraft users. Administrative support for bookkeeping, schedul-
ing, report writing, and data analysis were all part of the in-kind contribution, along with over 500 hours logged by volunteer watercraft stewards, and local high schools constructed four AIS Dis-posal Stations for launch sites with materials do-nated from local lumber companies.
With such a tremendous outpouring of support and dedication, it’s impossible to thank each indi-vidual, organization, and governmental agency who provided assistance in numerous ways, so KLA wishes to extend thanks to all who support-ed the watercraft steward program over the past four years. You have significantly contributed to the program’s success, but more importantly,
you’ve helped preserve and protect the lake and have gained and shared knowledge that will ben-efit future generations so that they may also en-joy the natural beauty of Keuka Lake.

The aquatic invasive microalgae, starry stonewort (SSW), was first identified in the Keuka Outlet in Penn Yan during September 2015. Subsequent scouting efforts found that it was also established along the banks of Sugar Creek in Branchport. Concerned about the environmental and economic impacts posed by this highly invasive microal-gae, the Keuka Watershed Improvement Cooperative (KWIC) with assistance from Keuka Lake Association (KLA), Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) and Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) of Yates County ap-plied for and received a grant from NYSDEC for $35,800 over three years to assist with management efforts. Mechanical harvesting of SSW is currently identified as the most effective control option on small or recently introduced populations. Grant funding allows KWIC to hire a mechanical harvesting contractor, CNY Aquatic Harvest-ing, to cut SSW up to twice a year for three years. Mechan-ical harvesting has occurred in 2017 and 2018 in the Keuka Outlet at the Penn Yan Village launch site, and will occur again in 2019. SSW grows later in the season so harvest-ing is usually scheduled during the month of August and then again in September or October if regrowth requires. To further aid in preventing the spread of SSW from the outlet and into the lake, KLA installed a buoy near Indi-an Pines Park where the lake and outlet meet, asking boat-
ers to: “STOP; REVERSE PROPS; PROCEED.” This prop scrubbing is recommended to help dislodge vegetation from lower units and outdrives, leaving it in the outlet in-stead of transporting it into the lake. In addition to efforts at the outlet, hand pulling of SSW at Sugar Creek has oc-curred during 2017 and 2018. Due to the location of SSW along the banks of the creek, access with a mechanical harvester would be difficult so it was determined that hand removal was the most appropriate control method.
In 2017, it was discovered by a KLA watercraft stew-ard that SSW had begun to spread a few hundred feet into the lake where it meets with Sugar Creek. During scouting and site delineation of the creek to prepare for the 2018
hand-pull event, members from the Finger Lakes Museum & Aquarium (FLM&A), a KLA watercraft steward, and CCE Yates educator discovered SSW in deeper water, away from bank edges where volunteers could not wade. Ca-noes provided by FLM&A, weed sleds borrowed from Fin-ger Lakes Institute (FLI), and rakes were used to remove SSW from deeper waters. The evening prior to the hand-pull there was heavy rainfall which made visibility of SSW
from the water’s surface difficult. During scouting and delineation efforts, sites in deeper water were not marked in advance to avoid interference with wa-tercraft traffic, but not being able to easily identify the sites during the pull significantly slowed efforts of those in ca-noes. Other techniques for more effective removal of SSW in deeper waters at Sugar Creek will be discussed for 2019. Despite this difficulty, overall, the hand-pull was very successful thanks to the help of more than twenty volun-teers from FLM&A, Keuka College, Isaac Walton League, Boy Scout troops from Penn Yan and Prattsburgh, KWIC,
KLA, CCE of Yates, and many others. The amount of SSW removed filled a tractor bucket six times. Following mechanical harvesting of SSW at the Penn Yan Village launch, data collected by KLA’s watercraft stewards from both the 2017 and 2018 season showed a reduction in the amount of SSW found caught on watercraft being retrieved from the lake. A reduction in the amount of SSW
attaching to watercrafts can help to reduce the possibility of its spread into Keuka Lake and transport to other water-bodies. To further monitor and better understand control of SSW, FLI has begun to establish a group of collaborators from across the Great Lakes Region, and KLA is pleased to be partnering with this project. The Keuka Outlet is an ideal location to study SSW because it’s an easily accessi-ble infestation site and is in close proximity to FLI. Prior to and following mechanical harvesting in the Outlet, FLI tech-nicians gather water quality and aquatic vegetation sam-ples that contribute data to support the ongoing research efforts to develop best management practices and control techniques for SSW. As more research about SSW and control options continues, ongoing efforts to prevent its spread into Keuka Lake and other waterbodies is critical. Prevention of new colony establishment is the most cost-effective manage-ment approach. If you own or rent a watercraft, practice “clean, drain, dry” and “STOP; REVERSE PROPS; PRO-CEED” or if you are fishing, picnicking, swimming, relaxing near the shoreline or on a dock, be on the lookout for SSW.
As with all invasive species, prevention and early detection are always best. For more information on identification of SSW or to connect with volunteering efforts or events, con-tact Laura Bailey at [email protected] or 315-536-5123 x 4127.

LIFE JACKET REMINDER – Keep in mind the NYS law requiring wearing of a Life Jacket:
While not required by law, keep in mind that if you are fishing, skating or ice boating on the ice this winter, consider wearing a life jacket (an inflatable is ideal for this purpose) and carry “ice spikes” to pull yourself out should you fall through the ice. Remember that the ice thickness should be at least 3” thick but 4” is better and be alert for the thin spots over the methane vents that exist in several places around Keuka Lake. WINTER BOATING: If you continue boating activities this winter, please keep in mind a number of safety concerns: WATER TEMPERATURE - Make sure you are properly dressed and outfitted as the lake tempera-tures begin to drop rapidly (please see the water temperature graph on the KLA website). It has historically dropped from the 40's down into the 30's from November through March. LAKE LEVELS - As you navigate any waters this winter season, make sure you are on the lookout for shallow areas or uncovered obstacles due to the lower lake levels. Shallow water marker buoys may not be present if they have been taken out by NYS Parks for the winter months (which then get reset in the Spring). LESS ASSISTANCE OUT THERE - This time of year, since there are fewer people around, cries for help or distress may go unanswered for some time. Prepare yourself for anything to happen and assume it will be awhile before help can get to you. It is also a good idea to have a cell phone with you if you need to call for help and remember that the marine pa-trol has removed their boats from the water so it will take longer for them to get back on the water to provide help. SAFETY EQUIPMENT REMINDER: Now that you have winterized your boat and put it away, you might want to review your inventory of safety equipment to see if anything should be replaced for the upcoming 2019 sea-son (get those items onto your holiday gift lists now while they are fresh in your mind). Keep in mind that if you use flares to meet the requirement for emergency distress signals, they expire after 3 years and if yours have, it is a good opportunity to consider the Sirius SOS light which is Coast Guard approved and has no ex-piration date. Also think about any other new safety equipment that you might have seen this summer that you should have for next summer - marine radio, depth finder, new spot lights, etc. If you would like help in-specting your required safety and navigation equipment, you can request a free Vessel Safety Check from the United States Power Squadron or the Coast Guard Auxiliary. The boat does not have to be in the water or the engine running to conduct this inspection but the battery needs to be installed so the navigation lights can be checked. I can do these inspections or you can request one on line at http://wow.uscgaux.info/content.php?unit=V-DEPT&category=i-want-a-vsc BOATER SAFETY COURSES: NYS law now requires anyone born on or after May 1, 1996 to hold a Boater Safety Course Certificate in order to operate any "mechanically propelled vessel". There may not be many safety courses held locally during the winter months, but NYS has now approved four on line courses that you can take from the comfort of your own home. See the NYS Parks and Recreation web page at http://parks.ny.gov/recreation/boating/boating-safety-class.aspx BAITFISH STOCKING UPDATE: In the September 2018 Newsletter we published an update on the DEC Region 8 plan presented by DEC Biologist Brad Hammers in 2017 for dealing with the scarcity of deep water bait fish. Among the items that he proposed was the stocking of cisco to replace the depleted population of alewives in the lake. This is critical to the continued health of the Lake Trout population in the lake. The original plan proposed was to stock 15,000 fish this fall depending on the success of raising them at the Bath hatchery. As it turned out not only was the Bath hatchery successful, but the DEC was able to get a much larger number from the USGS hatchery in Cortland, NY that is raising fish to stock in Lake Ontario.
“No owner or operator of a pleasure vessel less than twenty-one feet, including rowboats, canoes, and kayaks shall permit its operation, between November 1st and May 1st, unless each person on board such vessel is wearing a securely fastened United States Coast Guard approved wearable Life Jacket of an appropriate size when such vessel is underway.”
Page 10 December 2018 KLA Newsletter
Nav & Rec Cont from pg.9 On October 17, the DEC stocked just under 99,000 cisco that are between 3-7 inches in the west branch of Keuka Lake near the state park. Hopefully we will start to see these show up in lake trout in the next few months and the DEC would appreciate additional feedback by anglers. The DEC encourages feedback from anglers via their diary program, we encourage you to join by contacting the DEC Region 8 at [email protected] The DEC has also posted a sign at the Keuka Lake State park requesting reports including a picture, loca-tion and date of any adult cisco caught in the lake to [email protected] HAVE A GREAT WINTER!

Critter Corner - Dave deCalesta Ice Fishing
This installation of Critter Corner was supposed to be Bugs II, but who wants to read about bugs in the dead of winter? So, what critters to cover? Feeding the birds – good idea but already cov-ered in an earlier newsletter (re-printed on page 21). Hunting? Most seasons are over by mid-January. Feed the deer? Two very good reasons not to. 1. It’s against the law; and, 2 - for those who don’t worry about such trivia, here’s the skinny, obtained from painful personal experience. When we lived in PA prior to returning to Keuka Lake, Kathy observed deer trying to make a living digging through the snow for and eating frozen ap-ples from trees on the property next door. Why not feed them a little corn? So she did just that, putting out about 5 pounds of shelled corn in a galvanized tub every night. First night, one deer. Second night, five deer. By week’s end, 15 deer. That’s when she learned that although corn was the main meal, dessert for deer was snacking on her prized Euonymus shrubs. After the deer completely ate those bushes into the ground, end of deer feeding. What’s left? Ice fishing! Those of us who saw the movie Grumpy Old Men (and who didn’t, really?) remember the fancy ice fishing shacks, replete with heaters, refrigerators, 6-packs of beer, and TVs. Ice fishing is a little more mundane on Keuka Lake (remember those people freezing in chairs out on the ice watching their tip-ups for fish bites?). What for? Mainly perch, crappie, trout, walleye, and pike. You’ll mostly catch perch which is OK because they are the tastiest. Ice fishing comes down to four things: 1) making sure the ice is thick enough so you don’t fall through; 2) equipment; 3) jigs and/or bait; 4) know-how. Safe ice. A minimum of 4 inches of clear ice for fishing. Double that to 8 inches for snowmobiles, and triple it (12 inches) for cars/small pickups. Make sure you have a buddy, or other anglers close by for obvious rea-sons. Equipment: ice auger. To get to the fish, one needs a hole in the ice. One uses a gas-powered auger, or one operated by hand, to cut a hole ~ 6 inches wide. Some people use chainsaws but it plays hell with teeth on the chain. Equipment: scoop. A small scoop of some kind to scoop out ice forming in the hole – slotted spoons from the kitchen work great. Equipment:rod & reel or tip-up. Either a short rod and reel or a “tip-up,” which is metal, plastic or wooden cross arm fixed with a spool of line attached to a flag. When a fish bites and starts taking line off the spool, the flag pops up, alerting the angler to the action. Tip-ups use baited hooks; rod & reel combos may use live bait or jigs or combinations of jigs and bait. Equipment: line and jigs. Using “invisible” fluorocarbon line is harder for fish to see. The stronger braided line is best for sharp-toothed fish walleye, pike and muskie. Some anglers use lures referred to as jigs (because they are raised and lowered-jigging, if you will-to attract fish). Often jigging lures have a small piece of bait attached to jig hooks. There are endless varieties of jigs. Some flutter, some “swim” up and down, others dart hither and yon. Many are tipped with a small piece of bait on one or more of the hooks. Tip-ups are not “jigged” and use baits exclusively. You can use multiple tip-ups at multiple holes in the ice as they don’t re-quire moving the lures as required by jigging. If you’re a jigger, you are limited to fishing from one spot at a time. Jigging and using tip-ups provides flexibility and more fishing opportunities. Equipment: baits. Minnows cut in two or more pieces are the best. Some anglers use mealworms, others use worms. You can get live minnows from local sporting goods stores – just make sure the minnows are certified free of disease to prevent spreading disease to game fish. Frozen minnows work well also and may be easier to find at sporting goods stores. Some anglers add a small piece of marshmallow to add scent and color to baits.

Even though Dave and his wife, Kathy, have left Keuka Lake for Florida, Dave has still volunteered to continue to contribute to the KLA newsletter. His knowledge is much appreciated!!! Past “Critter Corner” articles can be found on our website.
Equipment: warm clothing. Sufficiently warm clothing is an absolute must to make sure you don’t freeze. You will want heavily insulated and water-proof boots, insulated overalls, a warm jacket, warm mitts, and that old duck hunter hat complete with ear flaps. Don’t forget sunglasses – it’s glary out there on sunny days. Equipment: a chair and some kind of pop-up shelter (like a small tent) to protect you from the wind. Forget the refrigerator, TV and beer, although a thermos filled with hot coffee is good idea. A small propane heater is great to have on cold days. If you run one inside a shelter, make sure you have proper ventilation and wall clearance. Equipment: a sled. Lastly, some kind of sled to carry everything from your vehicle to the fishing spot on the ice. Pop-up tents provide shelter from the weather. Tip-ups come in a variety of styles.
Know-how. Local information obtained from successful anglers is the best. Watching for where locals
are fishing is a good clue to where to fish. Chatting up successful anglers on the kind of baits/jigs
to use and how to use them is the best way to find out what works. These folks can also provide
info on where to get all the stuff you’ll need.
Specifics for Species. Perch make great eating and school in bunches—if you get one you’ll likely get more at the same spot. Found in depths of ~ 30 feet, they hit most jigs especially when tipped with worms or meal-worms. Crappie school like perch but at shallower depths (10-15 feet). Minnows are best, but jigs that “swim” are effective. Trout are found closer to the surface (about 10 feet). Spoons like the Swedish Pimple are popu-lar jigs for trout. Walleye hang out around points and drop-off ledges in 10-40 feet of water. Use larger jigs and/or baits for walleye and heavier line. Pike are the largest—and hardest to catch. Fish for pike at 15 or so feet near points and weed beds using larger jigs and heavier equipment. Good luck.

The Real Snowbirds – Dave deCalesta—reprinted from 12-03 KLA Newsletter The real snowbirds aren’t the people (or birds) that flock south for the winter. No, the real snowbirds are the ones that tough it out and stay put during wintry blasts, blizzards, ice and freezing temperatures. Some of these hardy birds are pictured at the left, from top to bottom: black-capped chickadee; downy woodpecker; white breasted nuthatch; American goldfinch (the males pit on a drab winter coat, losing their bright gold suit); dark-eyed junco; and tufted titmouse. These birds have three basic survival needs during winter: food, shelter and wa-ter. Food we can provide in various ways – not all birds like all kinds of bird food – as detailed in the table below. Shelter is needed from weather extremes and predators, such as cats and sharp-shinned, cooper’s and sparrow hawks. Placing bird feeders near thick shrubbery and low-growing conifers protects birds from predators. Bird stores sell “woven roosting pockets” that are wooden frames filled with moss/weeds – these can be hung near bird feeders for birds to roost in over-night and seek protection from hawks. Larger versions of the roosting pockets, called “convertibles” double as nesting structures in spring. Water is critical, espe-cially with winters like last year. Bird baths made of resin hold water which can be heated with bid bath heaters and they won’t melt. Don’t use concrete bird baths as they will freeze and crack. Much of this information came from a call to an old friend at Wild Bird Centers of America. This (and other bird specialty stores) is where to buy the best bird food, feeders and other accessories.
Types of Feeds Utilized by Different Snowbirds
Type of feeder is also important. Thistle/tube feeders are best for goldfinches. Hoper feeders can be filled with black-oiled sunflower seeds, sunflower chips, peanut pieces and white millet—most birds feed from these, except cardinals & juncos. Platform feeders are good for black-oiled sunflower seeds, sunflower seed chips, white millet and whole peanuts in the shell. Placing platform feeders within four incj=hes of the ground insures they will be used by ground feeders (cardinals, juncos). Suet should be placed in wire cages and hung from branches.
