General

As a license issuing agent you have a direct connection to New York’s hunters and anglers, so we could use your help in getting the word out about a handy new feature recently released in DEC’s official app, HuntFishNY.  "The Tackle Box" gives users instant access to helpful information such as fishing regulations, fish stocking, and fishing access locations throughout New York State- all within an easy-to-use map-based interface.

We’d really appreciate it if you print the attached 8 ½ x 11 sign/flyer out and post it prominently where you selling sporting licenses. It fits nicely in a clear plastic sign holder, but can also be tacked up if a holder isn’t an option. Users can download the HuntFishNY app through the App store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) by scanning the appropriate QR code on the sign.

Guidance for users should they ask you:

For technical assistance, call the DECALS Help Line at 866-933-2257. For specific questions about fishing, email fwfish@dec.ny.gov.

If you have any questions about this promotion effort please email: Joelle Ernst, DEC Bureau of Fisheries at joelle.ernst@dec.ny.gov. If you’d like a supply of promotional business cards to distribute, please let us know. We greatly appreciate your assistance in helping us promote The Tackle Box!
