DEC is conducting a QR code angler survey on the trout fishery in the Delaware River Tailwaters. Areas in this survey include:

• East Branch Delaware River from Pepacton Reservoir downstream to Hancock
• West Branch Delaware River from Cannonsville Reservoir downstream to Hancock
• Delaware River from Hancock downstream to Callicoon

Monitoring this premier fishery for enhanced management remains a top priority for DEC and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.

How You Can Help

At the end of each of your fishing trips, please complete the short survey by scanning the QR code with your phone, even if no trout were caught. Signs to access the QR code survey can be found throughout the river segments listed above.

Understanding angler use is key to managing this fishery. By sharing information about your fishing experience, you play an important role in helping us maintain quality trout fishing. When anglers participate, anglers benefit.
