What is a RSA
Fluke permit?
The National Marine
Fisheries Service sets
annual quotas for most
popular fish species. Up to
3% of the quota is
allocated for research.
This research set-aside is
either used directly for
research or auctioned off to
finance research.
Under this permit we are
allowed to fish for “RSA”
Fluke outside the published
Fluke Season in New York
State with a different size
and bag limit (We can’t
use the permit during the
open season). We are
required to weigh the fish,
clean the fish at the dock
and report our catch to New
York State Department of
Environmental Conservation
and National Marine
Fisheries Service.
