fishing

The DEC has announced that they have finalized the new regulations for trout stream fishing for anglers across the state, less than one week away from the season's opening date. The new regulations take effect on April 1. How will this impact you?

Anglers broke three New York State Records this season.

A prestigious International Conservation Club bestows the honor on Officer Darryl Lucas .

Minimum size limits would be increased and harvest limits reduced on several species of panfish.

Under the change, only "non-offset" circle hooks would be legal to use.

From mittens to shelters, gifts anglers can really use.

The proposal would eliminate "any size" and 10" size limits state wide.

DNA test needed to confirm fish species.

The New York Department of Environmental Conservation's Become an Outdoors Woman program is still a-go for women who want to develop their outdoor skills.

Licenses and permits are only available from authorized DEC license-issuing agents or by phone. Don't fall for fake online sites.
