De Ruyter Reservoir
DeRuyter Reservoir (also known as Tioughnioga Lake) is a man-made lake located north of Puckerville, New York. Fish species present in the lake include smallmouth bass, pickerel, yellow perch, rock bass, black bullhead, common sunfish, and walleye. There is access by fee on the south shore at the general store. The reservoir was constructed from 1861 to 1863 to supply water for the Erie Canal but by the following year had proved to hold insufficient water. The dam has been worked on at least twice. History In 1856, an estimate for a reservoir on Limestone Creek put the cost at $118,367.55. Construction of the reservoir was authorized by the Canal Board in January 1861, and it was opened in 1863. Charles A. Beach was in charge of initial construction. The upper Tioughnioga Creek Tioughnioga may refer to: * Tioughnioga River, a tributary of the Chenango River, with two branches that converge at Cortland, New York, and flow south from there * Givetian, also known as ''Ti ...

Madison County, New York
Madison County is a county located in the U.S. state of New York. As of the 2020 census, the population was 68,016. Its county seat is Wampsville. The county is named after James Madison, the fourth president of the United States, and was first formed in 1806. Madison County is part of the Syracuse metropolitan area. History Indigenous peoples had occupied areas around Oneida Lake for thousands of years. The historic Oneida Nation is an Iroquoian-speaking people who emerged as a culture in this area about the fourteenth century and dominated the territory. They are one of the Five Nations who originally comprised the Iroquois Confederacy or ''Haudenosaunee''. English colonists established counties in eastern present-day New York State in 1683; at the time, the territory of the present Madison County was considered part of Albany County, with the city of Albany located on the Hudson River. This was an enormous county, including the northern part of New York State around ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Black Bullhead
The black bullhead or black bullhead catfish (''Ameiurus melas'') is a species of bullhead catfish. Like other bullhead catfish, it has the ability to thrive in waters that are low in oxygen, brackish, turbid and/or very warm. It also has barbels located near its mouth, a broad head, spiny fins, and no scales. It can be identified from other bullheads as the barbels are black, and it has a tan crescent around the tail. Its caudal fin is truncated (squared off at the corners). Like virtually all catfish, it is nocturnal, preferring to feed at night, although young feed during the day. It generally does not get as large as the channel or blue catfish, with average adult weights are in the 1- to 2-lb range, and almost never as large as 4 lb. It has a typical length of 8-14 in, with the largest specimen being 24 in, making it the largest of the bullheads. It is typically black or dark brown on the dorsal side of its body and yellow or white on the ventral side. Like most of the bullh ...

Fish Creek (Oneida Lake Tributary)
Fish Creek (called ''Tege-soken'', "''between the mouths''" by the Haudenosaunee) is a moderately sized river emptying into the eastern end of Oneida Lake in Oneida County, New York. Formed by the confluence of its east and west forks near the hamlet of Blossvale, the creek flows southwest for , through the towns of Annsville and Vienna. The last mile of the creek is channelized to form part of the Erie Canal, which joins the lake at Sylvan Beach. The creek drains approximately of the Tug Hill plateau country in Central New York.http://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1074&context=tech_rep The largest tributary of Oneida Lake, Fish Creek contributes about 50% of the lake's total inflow. Geography Although the main stem is short, the East Branch stretches , and the West Branch is long. Measured to its furthest headwaters along the East Branch in Lewis County, Fish Creek is long, draining parts of Oneida, Lewis and Oswego Counties. Excepting the east ...

Headwater
The headwaters of a river or stream is the farthest place in that river or stream from its estuary or downstream confluence with another river, as measured along the course of the river. It is also known as a river's source. Definition The United States Geological Survey (USGS) states that a river's "length may be considered to be the distance from the mouth to the most distant headwater source (irrespective of stream name), or from the mouth to the headwaters of the stream commonly known as the source stream". As an example of the second definition above, the USGS at times considers the Missouri River as a tributary of the Mississippi River. But it also follows the first definition above (along with virtually all other geographic authorities and publications) in using the combined Missouri—lower Mississippi length figure in lists of lengths of rivers around the world. Most rivers have numerous tributaries and change names often; it is customary to regard the longest t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Limestone Creek (Chittenango Creek Tributary)
Limestone Creek is a river in Onondaga County in the state of New York. From its source on the north side of Arab Hill south of Delphi Falls, New York, and northwest of DeRuyter Reservoir, the creek flows generally north to its confluence with Chittenango Creek. Course Originating at the north side of Arab Hill south of Delphi Falls, New York and northwest of DeRuyter Reservoir the creek begins traveling northward. After a short distance the creek receives the creek that flows through The Gulf, which drains DeRuyter Reservoir. The creek then continues a short distance and receives East Branch Limestone Creek just southeast of Delphi Falls. The upper reaches of the creek drain the valley of Pompeys Hollow, west of Cazenovia Lake. The creek then flows past Manlius and Fayetteville, passing under the Erie Canal near Green Lakes State Park, receiving Butternut Creek from the west below Minoa. Downstream of there, it empties into Chittenango Creek which continues a few miles north ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Erie Canal
The Erie Canal is a historic canal in upstate New York that runs east-west between the Hudson River and Lake Erie. Completed in 1825, the canal was the first navigable waterway connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes, vastly reducing the costs of transporting people and goods across the Appalachians. In effect, the canal accelerated the settlement of the Great Lakes region, the westward expansion of the United States, and the economic ascendancy of New York State. It has been called "The Nation's First Superhighway." A canal from the Hudson to the Great Lakes was first proposed in the 1780s, but a formal survey was not conducted until 1808. The New York State Legislature authorized construction in 1817. Political opponents of the canal, and of its lead supporter New York Governor DeWitt Clinton, denigrated the project as "Clinton's Folly" and "Clinton's Big Ditch". Nonetheless, the canal saw quick success upon opening on October 26, 1825, with toll revenue covering the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Walleye
The walleye (''Sander vitreus'', synonym ''Stizostedion vitreum''), also called the yellow pike or yellow pickerel, is a freshwater perciform fish native to most of Canada and to the Northern United States. It is a North American close relative of the European zander, also known as the pikeperch. The walleye is sometimes called the yellow walleye to distinguish it from the blue walleye, which is a color morph that was once found in the southern Ontario and Quebec regions, but is now presumed extinct. However, recent genetic analysis of a preserved (frozen) 'blue walleye' sample suggests that the blue and yellow walleye were simply phenotypes within the same species and do not merit separate taxonomic classification. In parts of its range in English-speaking Canada, the walleye is known as a pickerel, though the fish is not related to the true pickerels, which are members of the family ''Esocidae''. Walleyes show a fair amount of variation across watersheds. In general, fis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
