 Trout anglers will find many fine fishing opportunities on stream segments downstream of nine New York City Reservoirs. Combined these nine stream segments offer over 13 miles of publicly accessible trout water. In most cases brown trout are the most common species, while in others rainbow and sometimes even an occasional brook trout provide diversity. <read more here>
Because these waters are a part of the city-owned reservoir system, a free New York City access permit is required in addition to the regular New York state fishing license. The permit is available Monday through Friday from the Bureau of Customer Services, 1250 Broadway, 8th floor, New York, NY, 10001 (phone: 212-643-2215). You will need to have a New York state fishing license and two head /shoulder snapshots when you pick up your permit. Permit applications can be obtained from their web site. |
