Seasons, limits, special regulations and closures for each reach are on the agency pages below. Read them before you go.
Each comes from the agency's own published list; where the list names a reach it is quoted. A designation applies to the listed reach, not necessarily the whole water. Listed in the finder under trout.
On the Trout Stream Management Plan — Stocked-Extended reaches (daily limit 3, 1 over 12 inches) list (New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), Bureau of Fisheries, read 2026-10-20). All waters with this designation
Measured from the NHDPlus High Resolution (flowlines and waterbodies) (U.S. Geological Survey, read 2026-11-04) for this water’s own mapped feature. Rounded figures; they describe the channel, not today’s conditions.
Areas the Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US), public access (U.S. Geological Survey, Gap Analysis Project, read 2026-11-05) lists as owned or held in easement and open to the public, crossed by the mapped channel. Boundaries are mapped, not surveyed. Nothing on this page grants or implies access: check the agency map, posted signs and landowner permission before you fish.

NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 10:32 AM EST. Highest point: 1.8 ft, 195 ft³/s on Nov 6, 7:00 AM EST (Below NWS action stage).
