Ashokan Reservoir how to get a license to fish there?

Answer 1

To fish at the Ashokan Resevoir you first need an access permit for the resevoir. This is separate from the NYS fishing license. You can get an access permit online by going to the website of New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and applying online.

Once you have the access permit apply for a fishing license at this site:

All fishing licenses expire Sept. 30 even if you buy one on Sept. 29. Obey all the rules at the Ashokan Resevoir. The police are everywhere including helicopters and satelites. Really.
