DEC DELIVERS--VOLUNTEER WTIH THE HUDSON RIVER COOPERATIVE ANGLER PROGRAM

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-------our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship---in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Do you fish for striped bass in the Hudson River? Whether you catch-and-release or take home a keeper, you can be part of the Cooperative Angler Program. Share your fishing trip information and help biologists understand and manage our striped bass fishery. Striped bass season in the Hudson starts April 1, 2026.

Here's how it works:

Fill out a logbook we provide or record your trips via smartphone using DEC's Hudson River online logbook (PDF) whenever you fish on the tidal Hudson River (by boat or on the shore)

Record general location, time, gear used, what you caught (or if you didn't catch anything)

Return the logbook when you are done fishing

Join today! For more information on the angler program and instructions on installing the Survey123 App to access the online logbook, visit the Hudson River Cooperative Angler webpage or email hudsonangler@dec.ny.gov
