We'd put you to work as a volunteer on our sampling permit if you lived a bit more north & west (Rochester/Buffalo)...ha
We are doing a broad fish survey for 2 streams in western NYS. Have you tried contacting a local University as a volunteer??
And - You can actually do quite a bit of sampling under your angling license for NY if you have one ???
See the NYSDEC regulations guide for instructions on what gear is allowed for what species.
52+ species of Cyprinids (minnows, shiners, chubs - including dace) in NYS.
>>><> good luck...
