Public Fishing Rights Maps

Irondequoit CreekAbout Public Fishing Rights

Public Fishing Rights (PFR’s) are permanent easements purchased by the NYSDEC from will-ing landowners, giving anglers the right to fish and walk along the bank (usually a 33’ strip on one or both banks of the stream). This right is for the purpose of fishing only and no other purpose. Treat the land with respect to insure the continua-tion of this right and privilege. Fishing privileges may be available on some other private lands with permission of the land owner. Courtesy toward the land-owner and respect for their property will insure their continued use.

These generalized location maps are intended to aid anglers in finding PFR segments and are not survey quality. Width of displayed PFR may be wider than reality to make it more visible on the maps. Please look for this PFR sign to ensure that you are in the right location and have legal access to the stream bank.

For more information on this creek or if you believe PFR marked areas on these maps are incorrect or missing PFR signs, please call the Region 8 Fisheries office: (585) 226-2466.

Description of Fishery

Irondequoit Creek flows through Ontario and Monroe counties emptying into Irondequoit Bay on Lake Ontario. Irondequoit Creek is one of the best rainbow trout (steelhead) streams in New York State. Although it has only a small amount of Public Fishing Rights Areas purchased by the NYSDEC, numerous city, town and county parks offer additional access sites on Irondequoit Creek. Each year the Department of Environmental Con-servation (NYSDEC) stocks 27,500 rainbow trout (steelhead) and 7,600 brown trout including over 1,500 two year old fish. Monroe County also stocks brown trout into the portion of Irondequoit Creek within Powder Mill Park. Wild brown trout are found upstream of Powder Mill Park. Lake Ontario tributary regulations apply. Please consult the New York Freshwater Fishing Regulations.
