Categorization of New York State Trout Stream Reaches
MARCH 2020
1
A. Purpose This document supports the New York State Trout Stream Management Plan (TSMP) (NYSDEC 2020) by providing DEC Fisheries staff and anglers with a current list of the management categories assigned to New York trout stream reaches.
B. Revision/Update Schedule Revision 1 (March 24, 2021)
Management categories assignments may change as new information (biological, use and access) becomes available. This document will be updated annually in mid-February. This revision contains 9 changes. See section F for details.
C. About Management Categories The TSMP established five independent categories of trout stream management. The categories make a sharp distinction between wild trout management (three categories) and stocked trout management (two categories). See the TSMP (NYSDEC 2020) for a discussion of each category and the objectives and strategies associated with those categories.
2
D. Management Category Criteria The criteria for assigning management categories to stream reaches are listed in Table 1 for wild trout management categories and Table 2 for stocked trout management categories (NYSDEC 2020).
Wild Wild-Quality Wild-Premier
Access Public access Public access
Significant access – at least 3 cumulative miles of reach length in one or more of the following: • Public fishing rights • Public land • Public fishing permitted by landowner • Adequate angler parking
Size Not applicable Mean width >10 feet Mean width >20 feet
Stream Reach Quality (Trout Carrying Capacity)
Meets C(T)1 or higher water quality standard or data exists to support C(T) classification
• wild trout biomass >40 lbs/acre or
• ≥ 300 yearling or older trout/mile
• wild trout biomass >60 lbs/acre or ≥ 500 yearling or older trout/mile
• abundance of wild trout ≥9 in • potential to catch memorable fish
(12′′ ST, 15′′ RT or BT)2
Angler Use Not applicable Not applicable Reach can physically and biologically accommodate moderate to high angler use (>150 hr/acre)
Stocked Stocked-Extended
Access
Access by one or more of the following: • Public fishing rights easements • Public land • Public fishing permitted by
landowner
Significant access – at least 3 cumulative miles of reach length in one or more of the following: • Public fishing rights • Public land • Public fishing permitted by landowner • Adequate angler parking
Size Mean width >10 feet Mean width >20 feet
Stream Reach Quality (Trout Carrying Capacity)
• Survival to end of May • Does not already support adequate
fisheries for black bass or walleye, even though technically a trout stream
• Must meet Bp3 standard
• Reach conditions offer potential for spring-stocked trout to survive into summer
• Temperatures generally suitable for regular stocking through mid-June or for two consecutive months
• Must meet Bs4 standard
Angler Use >75 hours/acre >150 hours/acre
1 The C(T) classification applies to waters that support trout and requires evidence of trout presence. 2 ST=brook trout, RT= rainbow trout, and BT=brown trout 3 Marginal put and take trout streams with relatively little potential for wild or holdover contribution (Engstrom-Heg 1990). 4 Trout streams capable of supporting a spring fishery and some holdover trout, but with habitat deficiencies limiting
wild trout (Engstrom-Heg 1990).

E. Management Categories Assigned to Trout Stream Reaches
What is in Table 3 Table 3 contains trout stream reaches that have at least a portion that is publicly accessible and have been assigned one of the following categories: Stocked, Stocked-Extended, Wild-Quality and Wild-Premier. Reaches categorized as Wild with a catch-and-release regulation are also included. Each reach can have a mix of public access, informal access and private land. Anglers should respect private property and any posting of private property.
Wild and Un-categorized trout stream reaches Many trout streams are categorized either as Wild (publicly accessible) or un-categorized (trout streams not in Table 3 that are on private land). Wild trout stream reaches are not listed in Table 3 due to the number of Wild streams, many of which are unnamed headwater streams. If a trout stream reach is not listed, it is likely categorized as Wild or uncategorized. The stream reach may also be listed in Section F: Table of Management Category Changes as the management category may have changed based on new information.
DEC Regions Table 3 is organized by NYSDEC Region. The counties contained within DEC Regions is as follows:
Region 1: Nassau and Suffolk counties Region 2: Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island Region 3: Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester
counties Region 4: Albany, Columbia, Delaware, Greene, Montgomery, Otsego, Rensselaer,
Schenectady and Schoharie counties Region 5: Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Saratoga, Warren and
Washington counties Region 6: Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Oneida and St. Lawrence counties Region 7: Broome, Cayuga, Chenango, Cortland, Madison, Onondaga, Oswego, Tioga
and Tompkins counties Region 8: Chemung, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Schuyler,
Seneca, Steuben, Wayne and Yates counties Region 9: Allegany, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Erie, Niagara and Wyoming counties

Guide to Table 3 Reach: A stream reach is a segment of stream that shares, at a basic level, a common set of
physical and biological characteristics that influence its ability to support trout and trout angling opportunity for the public.
Miles: The miles of the trout stream reach.
Total # of Trout: The total number of trout is the total number of yearlings and 12+ inch trout planned to be stocked.
CR : Management categories marked with a CR (for Catch and Release) denote trout stream reaches that have a grandfathered catch-and-release regulation.

F. Table of Management CategoryChanges
Table 4 documents assigned management category changes to trout stream reaches based on the new TSMP. Subsequent changes will be associated with the previous revisions.
Guide to Table 4 Formerly stocked: Represents waters that were stocked with trout in 2020.
UnCat: This abbreviation is for an uncategorized stream reach.
Management priority given to wild trout: Reach does not meet wild trout abundance criterion for the Wild-Quality category. However, based on ecological and recreational potential of the reach, DEC judges the benefit of wild trout management to outweigh the benefit of stocking.
Minimum stocking criteria: trout stream reaches will not be stocked if the calculated stocking number is less than 300 yearling-equivalents (where one 12” trout = 4 yearlings), TSMP (NYSDEC 2020) page 12. Calculated stocking is based on accessible acreage and angler use.
