The Troy Record reports that Nov. 11, Veterans Day, is the latest free fishing day from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. “We thank all of New York’s veterans for their service to our county and hope that the upcoming free fishing day provides an opportunity to spend time with family and friends or even the chance to introduce someone new to the sport,” DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said. “This year, anglers can expect expanded fishing opportunities throughout the State thanks to our recently implemented Trout Stream Management Plan and take advantage of a catch-and-release trout season on inland trout streams.” The state’s new catch-and-release trout stream season opened on Oct. 16 and runs through March 31. During this season, anglers must use only artificial lures and immediately release trout they catch. Read more about this story in the Troy Record.
