About Public Fishing RightsPublic Fishing Rights (PFRs) are
permanent easements purchased by the NYSDEC from willing
landowners, giving anglers the right to fish and walk along the
bank (usually a 33 strip on one or both banks of the stream). This
right is for the purpose of fishing only and no other purpose.
Treat the land with respect to insure the continuation of this
right and privilege. Fishing privileges may be available on some
other private lands with permission of the land owner. Courtesy
toward the land-owner and respect for their property will insure
their continued use. These generalized location maps are intended
to aid anglers in finding PFR segments and are not survey quality.
Width of displayed PFR may be wider than reality to make it more
visible on the maps. Please look for this PFR sign to ensure that
you are in the right location and have legal access to the stream
bank.
Description of FisheryThe West Branch of the Delaware River is
divided into two sections by the Cannonsville Reservoir. Downstream
of the Cannonsville Reservoir, the West Branch is a tailwater
fishery that supports excellent wild populations of brown, rainbow,
and occasional brook trout (none are stocked); plus seasonal
anadromous runs of American shad with reports of occasional striped
bass. Upstream of the Cannonsville Reservoir, the river is stocked
with over 14,000 brown trout by the DEC. In addition to the stocked
fish, a wild brown trout population flourishes.
Note:Special regulations apply. See Fishing Regulations
Guide.
