Fishing is allowed in season with a DEP-issued permit also to the proper New York state license, and the reservoir is recognized, as with most Catskill fishing regions, for its trout. But boats aren’t allowed to leave the reservoir for environmental reasons and must be stored near it year round. Hunters with valid city and state permits can also use the lands around the reservoir where hunting is allowed throughout the season. Beyond those, but, no recreational use of the reservoir is allowed. While the land isn’t fenced off, the area is on a regular basis patrolled by uniformed DEP police. (theyeshivaworld.com)

The upper Delaware River and tailwaters, in western Delaware County, are home to some of the world’s best trout fishing, and it doesn’t end with Labor Day. Both the east branch of the river, below the Pepacton Reservoir, and the west branch, below the Cannonsville Reservoir, gain from cold-water releases from the impoundments above. The branches meet at Hancock to form the famous Delaware, or big river, where fishing sites abound. Look for DEC fishing access regions or contact one of the area’s many resorts or guides to add a professional touch to the fishing experience. (newyorkupstate.com)

DEP has appreciated the support, suggestions and patience of all the users of our Water Supply lands throughout these trying times, said Commissioner Miele. Now I’d like to support people to send in their applications as soon as they get them so that we can procedure them before the lands are reopened, said Commissioner Miele. This new permit system will enable us to better manage and help recreational use and to help us avoid disturbances to access at some point. Once the new permit system is in place, DEP will be able to communicate better with recreational permit holders and work more closely with groups interested in outdoor recreational actions also as the protection and continued use of Water Supply lands.
