East Kill fishing regulations

NYSDEC classifies water on the East Kill as Class B — swimming and contact recreation and Class C — fishing, managed as Trout spawning waters and 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.

The season and creel rules change yearly and live with the agency; this page does not paraphrase them.
