Came upon this info on another board that I read and thought it should be posted here.Apparantly the state bought this land and has turned it over to the DEC for access on the river.The map that I saw shows it to be from Pulaski all the way up to Altmar and beyond.A lot of this was already open but there is a lot more that will be protected now.
Google it and you can view the map!

And why was the Woodbine Group, developer of Tailwater Lodge, part of the official announcement?  Have deals already been made?
 

I saw some commentary from non-fishermen saying what an incredible waste of money this is.  Little do they know the money it generates. Now we can only hope for some "average" weather years that promote healthy stocks of bait and predator in balance, or whatever factors that help promote it.  With  Tailwater, it seemed it was going to go the way of the DSR. Not so. Choice is good.  I can't find a map, other than the existing accesses. I do wonder if all this will do is add some more parking lots and make areas you actually had to hike to an easy walk. In other words- more crowding and more incentive to pay to play.

Charlie,the map that I saw showed the land in question starts a the upstream border of Pulaski and runs in a continuous line up to Altmar and beyond.Most of it is both sides of river,there are some gaps but not many.The map is part of the article"NY buys 2800 acres on Salmon River.

If I have read the various articles properly there is a total of 6,000 acres involved with 3,800 in the Tug area and the remaining 2,800 in the Sr area being turned over to the State by National Grid.
The former Grid land along the Reservoir and Salmon river is being turned over as the result of an outstanding legal claim by the State.
The land around Tug is being purchased by the State.
Don't know enough to tell if any real NEW  SR fishing areas are involved.

Yes National Greed was strong armed into turning the land and over due to gross pollution outputs from coal plants in WNY.  FWIW Garret from DSR was there too.  

If a non fisherperson objects to spending money on Wildlands, bring up the Albany Pine Barrens reserve, and its staff of 13 well paid people.  From  my perspective in WNY, this is one of the biggest wastes in the Environmental Protection fund, pork for the Albany interests and the bird and bunny (and butterfly)lovers.
 
The land along the lower SR is all the public access land we've been enjoying since 2005.  It is highly unlikely that this acquistion will have any effect on additional crowding as there are limited areas where the water can be easily reached due to the steep gorge sides in many areas.  A lot of the acreage is above the Reservoir.

Click on the map (same as what Clint posted) in the story, it enlarges.  Then compare the yellow areas to the PFR maps on the DEC website.  I don't see a big difference, and some areas like from the Altmar Bridge down  to the wires are held by easement by NYSDEC, so all that land is for sale by Land First, but will still be accessible for fishing, or so we have been assured by NYSDEC.
 
It does look like it might include more of the west edge of water (south bank) land from Pineville to 2a, but I'd like to see a more detailed map with the roads on it before I definitely conclude that.
 

Joss Farm get sold ???
Bought by State ???
Fishing ???

It is not on the map that Clint posted, but there are rumors flying around the Interweb.   Where did you get your news?
