Press release\/provided photo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first day of trout fishing season is an anticipated event for thousands of anglers that will don their boots and head to their favorite fishing hole to wet a line and officially greet spring. This year is a special year for inland trout fishing in New York as it represents the beginning of a new era of management based on the State\u2019s new\u00a0Trout Stream Management Plan<\/a>, that was created in part by anglers, for anglers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this Plan, DEC has made management of trout streams easier to understand and guided by fewer regulations. Our hatcheries are changing production so yearling fish are larger. In the future, every stream stocked receives some 12 inches or larger trout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re drawing a distinct line between wild and\u00a0stocked trout<\/a>\u00a0management, and beginning in 2021, habitat improvement serves as DEC\u2019s primary tool for creating and retaining self-sustaining populations of wild trout. Later on this year, we will also begin posting our stream access sites with new and updated information. Best of all, the fun does not have to stop in the fall as anglers will now be able to enjoy our trout stream resources through the fall and winter months thanks to the creation of a new catch and release season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
