Shenandoah National Park
Fishery Management

The park’s Fisheries Management Plan has two objectives: to preserve and perpetuate native brook trout as a key component of the park’s aquatic ecosystems; and to allow for recreational fishing on those park streams that consistently produce adequate numbers of gamefish for maintaining population stability. Regulations and policies (PDF, 347 kb) are designed to carry out these objectives.

Also available is a NPS Catch and Release Fishing brochure (PDF, 0.8 mb).

Streams open for harvest:

The following streams, including their tributaries withing the park, are open for harvest fishing in accordance with regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and the Virginia State Fishing Regulations. The appropriate Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (PATC) map number pertaining to each stream is also listed.
