ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- The Department of Environmental Conservation is warning against building rock dams with the intent to create swimming holes on trout streams. Rock dams can have a detrimental impact on both wildlife and the environment. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! According to the DEC, trout are sensitive, cold-water fish. Warmer water temperatures can be stressful on trout and high temperatures can even be lethal.

Aquatic insects are a major diet item for trout. Lastly, rock dams weaken the stream bank, increasing erosion and sedimentation ...
