2009 Delaware Fishing Guide Available Online
The new 2009 Delaware Fishing Guide won’t arrive in its hard copy form for a couple of weeks yet, but eager anglers can check out the new guide online today on the Fish and Wildlife website at www.dnrec.delaware.gov/fw/Fisheries/Documents/2009fishingguideweb.pdf.
The new fishing guide includes information on Delaware fishing license requirements and the new F.I.N. number program, as well as sections on tidal sport fishing, freshwater fishing, newly enacted fishing regulations and general angler’s information. Other topics include trout stocking, fish consumption advisories, invasive species and Delaware’s artificial reef program.
The tackle-box sized printed version of the 2009 Delaware Fishing Guide will be available at more than 125 fishing license dealers throughout the state, including many hardware stores, sporting goods stores and bait and tackle shops. Anglers will also be able to pick one up along with their fishing license and trout stamp, at the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife’s main office in the Richardson & Robbins Building, 89 Kings Highway, Dover.
For more information on the 2009 Delaware Fishing Guide or on fishing in the First State, please call the Fisheries Section at 302-739-9914. For freshwater information, anglers also may call the section’s Smyrna field office at 302-653-2887, or for saltwater information, the Little Creek field office at 302-739-4782.
