DEC Opens Lower Fly Fishing Area of the Salmon River to Public Fishing
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced the opening of the lower fly fishing section of the Salmon River upstream of the Route 52 bridge in Altmar up to the property boundary of the Salmon River Fish Hatchery.
To increase the probability that sufficient numbers of salmon would reach DEC’s hatchery to sustain the salmon stocking program, the popular lower fly fishing section, located just below the hatchery and typically where large numbers of salmon and anglers congregate, did not open as scheduled on September 15. With the Salmon River Fish Hatchery’s annual egg take now complete, the section is once again open to public fishing.
Anglers and all fishing enthusiasts can visit DEC's “Tackle Box” feature in the HuntFishNY App for waterbody-specific information on fishing regulations, stocking, and fishing/boating access sites. Additional information, including the I FISHNY Great Lakes Fishing Brochure, is available at DEC’s website.
