Initial assignments were made by DEC regional biologists using the best information available. These assignments are listed by DEC Region in Categorization of New York State Trout Stream Reaches (NYSDEC 2020), which should be ● considered a dynamic component of this Plan that will be updated accordingly as new information becomes available. As part of this process, biologists prioritized reaches for resurvey (High, Medium, Low) based on the date ● of the last biological survey, the potential for subsequent changes to trout abundance and carrying capacity, the need to update angler use information, and assessing public access. As reaches are resurveyed and the current status is reevaluated, reach category assignments and ● boundaries may change in accordance with the category criteria and reach boundary guidance (NYSDEC 2020). ● Angling Regulations In the last decade, special regulations on inland trout streams in New York State reached a peak ● of 26 different combinations of possession limit, length regulation, and season length.
