2010 Delaware Fishing Guide now being distributed to fishing license dealers statewide

The new 2010 Delaware Fishing Guide has arrived and is in the process of being delivered to fishing license dealers throughout the state, including many hardware, sporting goods and bait and tackle shops. Anglers also can pick up a guide 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.

The tackle-box sized fishing guide includes information on Delaware fishing license requirements and the 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.

For more information on the 2010 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 302-735-8650, or for saltwater information, the Little Creek field office at 302-735-2960.
