Friends, spring will soon be upon us, and with it, the start of Trout season. We are very fortunate to have some outstanding waters in our area, many boasting numbers of wild brook trout. We also have many streams stocked by the state with your license dollars, so grab a rod and head out!

I have included some noteworthy waters below; for a more comprehensive list, please visit www.dec.ny.gov.
