Beaver Run is a public river in New Castle County, Delaware, managed by State of Delaware (public / navigable water). You can fish it on a Delaware inland fishing licence; bank access is at Delaware DNREC boat launches, Trout Management Area parking areas and bridge crossings. Delaware has no blanket streambed-access law; away from a public access point, wading or bank fishing may cross private property, so check current signage or ask permission. Public access confirmed via public-trust river.
One of Delaware's small number of DNREC-stocked trout streams — all in the Piedmont near the Pennsylvania border (Mill/Pike/Wilson Run and the Red Clay, White Clay and Christina Creek system), rainbow and brown trout stocked in season in an otherwise very un-trout-like coastal-plain state.
Anglers here mostly fish for brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Brandywine Creek State Park (Wide Water) and Wilson Run.

Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Delaware on freshwater ponds or streams.
Boats: Most Delaware rivers (the Christina, Brandywine, Nanticoke, St. Jones and Murderkill) are waded or floated by canoe or kayak; only the lower, tidal reaches of the Christina, Nanticoke and Broadkill rivers take a larger boat.
Bank & bivvy camping: You can fish this river on a Delaware freshwater fishing licence; bank and wading access is at Delaware DNREC access points and bridge crossings — check current DEM signage for any water, as bank ownership and access rights vary by reach.
Tackle: This water is on Delaware DNREC's trout-stocking program; check the current DEM freshwater fishing abstract for any special limit or artificial-lures-only rule on this specific reach.
Anyone 16 to 64 needs a Delaware fishing licence — the resident annual is about $8.50, the non-resident annual about $22, with a 7-day non-resident licence (~$16) also sold. A separate free Delaware Bay/tidal endorsement is required for some anadromous species. Residents 65 and older and Delaware residents fishing on their own tidal shoreline need no licence. Buy from DNREC at dnrec.delaware.gov. A Delaware fishing licence (plus the free tidal endorsement for some species) covers this river under the state's public-trust doctrine for navigable/tidal water.
