Genesee River in New York’s Allegany County has it all: Trout, smallmouth and access

You can do your own guesswork as to why the Genesee River is one of the most popular waters in DEC’s Region 9 of western New York.

Is it because it’s heavily stocked by the state, with more than 24,000 yearling trout planted every year, including over 2,700 hefty two-year-old fish? Is it because the river offers plenty of fishing access in the form of nearly 18 miles of Public Fishing Rights along its winding route from the Pennsylvania border northward?
