opportunities for children and physically challenged individuals
Efforts to enhance fishing opportunities for children and physically challenged individuals have resulted in the designation of six small impoundment’s and one section of a river to be managed as special fishing areas. These areas offer exceptional potential for fishing success. Trout stockings are provided March through May and the users can enjoy fishing in a more relaxed atmosphere without the concern of competing with others to achieve angling enjoyment. In addition, there are several accessible fishing piers and stream accesses that can be used by a physically challenged person. Click on one of the Districts above or click here to view a map of the different areas to choose a fishing site
