Lysander Town Clerk

The weather is finally heating up and summer has arrived! Just a friendly reminder that fishing season is upon us and you can purchase your license here at the Lysander Town Clerk’s Office.

We are open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and will be open until 6 p.m. Monday evenings on the second and last Monday of the month. Please check out our website at townlysander.org for meeting dates and hours of operation, or call my office with questions at 638-0224.

The cost for a year-round NYS resident fishing license is $25 for those ages 16 to 69 years of age. Children 15 and under are not required to have one. For those who are over 70 years of age or military disabled the cost is $5. We also offer a one day ($5) and 7 day ($12) censes.

In addition, hot off the press, is the 2016 Freshwater Fishing Guide issued by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. Please pick one up at our office when you come and purchase your license.

I wish everyone a fun, safe summer season!
