The following is a press release:

Salt City Bassmasters and the New York Bass Chapter Federation Nation have been active in combatting the spread of water chestnuts in the area for several years.

This year we have moved our hand pull operations to Oneida Lake. Our members have found the invasive plants in Big Bay and other locations on the north and south shorelines. It is imperative that we get these out of Oneida Lake as the impact of a further infestation will be immense on the land owners and users of the lake.

We will be performing the weed pulls on Oneida Lake over the next 3 weeks. Anyone wishing to volunteer can email Salt City Bassmaster President Patrick Grady at [email protected] or by calling 315 491-4299.
