Deer River fishing regulations

NYSDEC classifies water on the Deer River as Class B — swimming and contact recreation, Class C — fishing and Class D — fishing, natural conditions limit the fishery, managed as Trout waters. This is a designation of the fishery, not the season and creel rules. The posted signs and the current digest are the authority, not this page.
