Speaker: Hayley Brown, “DEC reports on Wild Brook Trout and Wild Brown trout in local streams”. Thursday March 19, 2026 West Endicott Fire Station, 113 North Page Ave., Endicott, NY; 7:00 PM: Equipment table will be available for sale/donation/exchange starting at 6:30.
Hayley Brown is an Aquatic Biologist with NYDEC. She will talk to us about the studies and status of Wild Brook and Wild Brown trout in two local streams; Wiley Brook and Genegantslet Creek.
Wylie Brook flows through Broome County, NY, generally west of Deposit and southeast of Binghamton. The Wylie Brook watershed is in the Upper Susquehanna River drainage. Originating south of Coventry, NY, Wylie Brook flows approximately 9.5 miles south into the Susquehanna River. Historically, the Wylie Brook drainage has almost exclusively consisted of native brook trout and is one of the best stream systems in the county containing “wild” brook trout, with the last stocking event occurring in 1989. Given successful spawning and nursery habitat, Wylie Brook has been identified as a priority watershed for several fish passage and stream restoration projects to reconnect brook trout with upstream habitat. DEC, in cooperation with Trout Unlimited, USFWS, and the Town of Coventry identified and replaced culverts identified as barriers to brook trout passage. Trout surveys were conducted pre- and post-culvert replacement to evaluate wild brook trout reach and abundance within the watershed and above and below reconstructed stream crossings and beaver dams.
Genegantslet Creek flows through Chenango County and into the Chenango River just south of Greene. It is one of the premier trout streams in the region. It supports native brook trout and is annually stocked with brown trout. The Genegantslet Creek watershed is in the Upper Susquehanna River Drainage. Originating north of East Pharsalia, NY, Genegantslet Creek flows approximately 51 miles south into the Chenango River. Genegantslet Creek currently contains 9.6 miles of Public Fishing Rights easements and four official parking areas in addition to several unofficial pull-offs. The upper Stocked reach section of the creek supports a cold-water fishery of wild Brook Trout and stocked and wild Brown Trout while the lower section shifts towards a cool- and warmwater fishery as it nears the Chenango River. The Stocked reach contains 1.1 miles of a year-round catch-and-release only section. DEC replicates and compares trout assessment surveys dating back to the 1990’s. In addition, 2025 Habitat and Access stamp funding was utilized to improve trout habitat in Genegantslet Creek by removing pool digger material and installing instream grade control structures.

BC FlyFishers Invites You to an Introductory Hands-On Course on Fly Fishing for Those Who Always Wanted to Try Fly Fishing but Didn’t Know Where to Start!
This course is for budding fly fishers age 12 and over. No experience necessary, in fact this course is targeted toward those who want to try fly fishing for the first time but is beneficial for beginners as well.
This is a great gift opportunity to get your spouse, kids, grandkids and friends exposed to a sport you love.
We supply everything for you to use during this one day course including rods, lines, flies and accessories. We will cover the basics and give you hands on experience including;
- What’s different and special about fly fishing
- Equipment definitions and set up
- Knot tying
- Basics of the different flies and how they are fished
- Fly tying – what is it and how it is an art form on its’ own
- Casting instruction from FFI (Fly Fishers International) certified instructors
- Plenty of time to practice casting and to revisit any of the other subjects covered
Where – West Endicott Fire Station 113 N. Page Ave, Endicott, N.Y. – We have a gym in the building where you will learn to cast with expert guidance. This year we are hoping to do the casting part outdoors. More details to come.
When – Saturday, April 25, 2026 9am – 3-ish pm. We will add more sessions as there is interest and are accepting only 4 students per session unless we can get outside for casting.
Cost – $50 per student. Drinks and snacks included
You will leave with a sense of what fly fishing is all about plus a booklet with background on what we talk about… links to help cut through the confusion on equipment choices to help you choose your first rod, reel and line, and videos you can access as you proceed on your fly-fishing adventure.
Once the weather allows, our club has fishing days on ponds and on the different creeks and rivers that bless our area. We set up fishing buddies on these outings so there will be someone to help you on the water as well. There is no charge for this as a member of our club.
You are welcome to join our mailing list, join our club and participate in our meetings, fishing trips and other events as well. This is optional, you do not have to join our club to participate in this course.
