Reservoir Fishing Permit Applications

If you would like to fish the Pepacton Reservoir you need to apply in advance for a newly issued permit.

Due to 9/11, NYC reservoirs and the sections of streams above these reservoirs owned by NYC, are only fishable with a new free permit.  This permit application must be sent in for a background check in advance.  They no longer issue the free permits on site in Downsville.  Old permits are no longer valid, everyone must apply for a new permit.  The following are the Web Site for reissuing reservoir permits.   You can  download the application on-line and mail it to Kingston for processing.  When you arrive you can pick up your new permit at the Downsville Office showing your drivers license.
