The Esopus is Wild

This short presentation is a testament to the power of collective voice. It tells how a small group of anglers influenced state policy and helped protect one of the best wild trout watersheds in the Northeast. In 2021, public feedback influenced and reversed the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s position that Esopus Creek should not be managed as a wild trout fishery.
