The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) wants to make changes to the fishing regulations and is looking for feedback from anglers. These changes are to the current freshwater fishing regulations, and if they go through, these changes would take effect on April 1, 2017.
Many of the changes are meant to safeguard
and/or expand fish populations. Other changes are focused on eliminating
special regulations that DEC feels didn't work. That goal would be to simplify New York fishing regulations.
Changes in walleye regulations seem to dominate with some bass and trout regulation changes on specific waters.
To view these proposed changes and to provide input, visit the DEC website. Hard copies of the list of changes being considered, as well as
instructions on how to submit feedback by regular mail, can be obtained
by contacting Shaun Keeler, at New York State DEC, Bureau of Fisheries,
625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-4753.
