Answers
About the New York rivers list
How many New York streams have a page?
411, including 45 with DEC wild trout reaches, 218 with stocked reaches, 349 with Public Fishing Rights and 18 Great Lakes tributaries.
What are Public Fishing Rights?
Permanent easements DEC holds along private stream banks, open to anglers on foot within the marked strip.
Do the river flows update?
Yes; every USGS gauge on a stream page refreshes several times a day.
Where are the small creeks without a page?
They are listed on their county page and, for trout water, on the trout streams page.
Do the stream pages show stocking?
Yes; DEC stocking totals by year and the planned spring 2026 trout stockings by month.
Where does the access data come from?
DEC boat launch, angler parking and Public Fishing Rights layers, each printed with its source.
Are catch-and-release reaches marked?
Yes; each DEC trout reach shows its category, limits and the reach description DEC prints.
Why is a New York stream missing?
A stream needs a launch, a gauge, a DEC trout or special regulation reach, Public Fishing Rights or Great Lakes tributary status for its own page.
