The DEC has placed orange flags around Canandaigua Lake to mark buoys for gill nets that are placed by the DEC Fisheries.
The netting helps biologists with the fisheries be able to study the fish.
Some of the data collected includes the lake trout population as well as the growth, stocking success and natural reproduction.
