Wild Trout Streams
Since these streams are not stocked and are supported wholly by wild trout populations, you are urged to practice careful catch-and-release on most of the trout you catch in these waters. Over-harvest of these wild trout will negatively affect yours and other anglers fishing in future years.
Legend
Species: BT - Brown trout, RT - Rainbow trout, ST - Brook trout
PRF: Public fishing rights, which are public rights-of-way through otherwise private land. Please be considerate of the landowners and their property. Yellow "Public Fishing Area" signs are posted along sections of streams with PFR. Maps are available for all streams with PFR.
Need owner permission: In sections of these streams without PFR, you must obtain permission to fish from the landowner. Respect their property or you risk losing public access to these streams.
