Opening day approaches for several prized freshwater species
Walleye, Northern Pike, Pickerel, and Tiger Muskellunge Season Opens on
May 3
Catch-and-Release Bass Season is Open on Many of the State’s waters
With the opening of the season for many popular warmwater and
coolwater gamefish species, fishing season in New York State is now in
full swing. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
(DEC) today provided some valuable tips for anglers looking towards the
May 3 opener for Walleye, Northern Pike, Pickerel, and Tiger
Muskellunge, as well as the catch-and-release bass season already in
progress in several state waters.
“I can think of no state in the country that can provide
fishing opportunities as diverse as those found in New York,” said DEC
Commissioner Pete Grannis. “Fishing is better than it ever has been in
New York and I encourage all of you to go fishing and better yet, take a
friend with you.”
Information on all of DEC’s fishing seasons and special
regulations can be found in the Freshwater Fishing Regulations Guide at
