N.Y. Bans Catch & Release Photos of Out of Season Fish

The New York state Department of Environmental Conservation is cracking down on anglers who take photos of fish caught out of season and post them on social media websites, according to the Watertown Daily Times. Photographing such fish is now a ticketable offense under a regulation that took effect April 1. The regulation is listed on Page 52 of the new DEC fishing guide that people get when they buy a fishing license.
