We are now in the Catch and release season of NYS fishing, Oct 16th-March 31st. This means artificial lure only and no live bait for Trout fishing. A good thing to do is use barbless hooks and or pinch them down. makes it easier to release fish. Browns are spawning beaware of this, one should leave alone the smaller tribs to allow the Brook trout and Browns to spawn.
