Problem is.... people would ruin it. Your allow to fish these types res's in NY and people are just plan slobs. There's trash everywhere you look at the boat storage areas.
I fish the NY Watershed Reservoirs on occasion, and have some good friends who fish almost nowhere else. From my observation, there is less problem with trash and litter there than at most other fisheries. The guys who are serious about it (and they are a pretty substantial portion at most of the res) often police the area they keep their boat in at the end of nearly every day on the water. The trashy areas seem to be the places that are easy access for shoreline fishermen, but not boat access areas.
And the fishing in those reservoirs is spectacular.
