DEC Offerings

The Greater Niagara Fishing Expo is proud to partner with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to provide outreach and insights on the excellent fisheries available in New York State.

Stop by the DEC's open house at the Greater Niagara Fishing Expo on Saturday, February 15 to meet and chat with the biologists and managers who oversee the fisheries of New York State. Experts will conduct round table discussions and give presentations on all aspects of the fisheries in Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, and their tributaries. Hearing direct input from the anglers is paramount for the fishery management process, so we greatly encourage stopping by the DEC open house if you regularly fish the Great Lakes and their tributaries.

The DEC will also be participating in the Salmon School, Walleye School and Fishing Socials to meet with participants and provide insight on the management of our Great Lakes fisheries.

As usual, DEC will continue to operate its popular booth in the main exhibit hall throughout the duration of the Expo, Thursday, February 15 to Sunday, February 18, 2024, and will highlight the HuntFishNY app, which includes the popular 'Tackle Box' interactive fishing map.
