Statewide - Public Comment on Draft Adirondack Brook Trout Pond Management Plan

Public Notice

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) Invites the Public to Comment on Draft Adirondack Brook Trout Pond Management Plan

NYS DEC has released a draft Adirondack Brook Trout Pond Management Plan (Plan) to guide management actions for pond dwelling brook trout for the next 15 years. The new plan sets a course for improved management in the face of ecosystem changes associated with climate change, reductions in acid-precipitation, and the spread of introduced fish species harmful to ponded brook trout populations. Plan objectives address wild and stocked brook trout across the Adirondacks using consistent and structured approaches to management. The Plan may be accessed here: https://dec.ny.gov/things-to-do/freshwater-fishing/fisheries-management…

NYS DEC will accept public comments on the draft plan until June 13, 2025. To comment on the plan, send an e-mail with the subject line "ADK Brook Trout Plan" to [email protected]or send written comments to the contact listed below.
