The upper most section of the special regulation section can be found in deposit, beginning
at the Rt 17 overpass an extends downstream 2.0 miles.
NY designates this sections as Artificial lures only, and defines artificial lures as;
Artificial Lures or Bait means artificial imitations of natural bait, manmade flies, spinners, spoons, plugs, jigs, and other lures including those that may contain some natural substances, such as deer hair and feathers.It is safe to assume flies, jigs, hardware and plastic worms, however a significant gray area is left when considering scented baits. Decision to allow or disallow scented baits such as power worms appears to be left to the discretion of the Conservation Officer. Since this is the case my suggestion it to leave them in the car, as a proper selection of flies will result in similar results. Or better yet if you don't feel confident fishing flies and jigs skip this small section completely.
Should you decided to fish the special regulation section you will find a mixture of flats, and runs. Concentrating on the runs and deeper pools flies can be effectively fished both dead drifting and trotting. In the past I have found that a stone fly pattern followed by a size 18 BWO wet to be an effective combination.
Access can be gain via RT17, or Airport Rd.
