Just got back from Lake Gleneida in Carmel NY. Seems to be the closest place to CT to catch a lake trout? And I did - 1 flag, 1 laker. Maybe 19", so nothin huge, but they catch huge fish in those reservoirs. 15 lb-ers. Salmon, browns, lake trout.
The guy at Big Wave Bait in Mahopac was excellent, and shared his local knowledge. |

Well your welcome for sharing... geesh!!!!
There are no Salmon in there. And technically it's a reservoir so you need a Reservoir permit. They are free and are good for 5 years. If you saw a Snap-On truck go by yesterday, that was me!
John at Big Wave is good people. Known him for a long time.

Most of the New York City Reservoirs are open to ice fishing, although, as damage inc (aka Soto) mentioned, you must have a free New York City Public Access Permit and, of course, a valid New York State fishing license. Here are some of the regulations for fishing and boating on the reservoirs ( http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/31426.html ):
| Quote: | New York City Reservoir Regulations
The General Angling Regulations apply to species and waters not listed
Special Fishing Regulations for New York City Reservoirs
*Ice fishing permitted
** Neversink Reservoir: smelt fishing prohibited.
***Pepacton Reservoir: use of a line with more than three hooks and any hook with more than three points is prohibited
Fishing and Boating on NYC Reservoirs
Note: A free New York City Public Access Permit is required in order to fish these reservoirs. A valid New York State fishing license is no longer necessary to obtain a NY City Public Access Permit. However, all anglers must possess a valid New York State fishing license when fishing on New York City Reservoirs.
All New York City fishing permits issued prior to 2002 are no longer valid. You must obtain a new permit before entering these lands.
Public Access Permits and applications are now available online at the DEP website (see link below). Applicants not choosing to apply online must submit their applications by mail, to the address indicated on the application. Public Access Permit application forms are available at existing New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Offices, DEP Police Precincts, Town Offices within the NYC watershed area and tackle shops and sporting goods stores within the NYC watershed area. In New York City, applications are available at:
•DEP's One-Stop Center in Queens, 59-17 Junction Blvd., 1st Floor, Low Rise (718)595-4820
•DEP's Bureau of Customer Conservation Services in Manhattan, 1250 Broadway, 8th Floor, New York, NY (212) 643-2215
Additional information about changing NYC Reservoir access conditions, information about fishing on New York City reservoirs, Public Access Permit application forms, Boating Tag application forms and Fishing and Boating Regulations are available at the DEP website (see link below).
Boating for the purpose of fishing is allowed on New York City Reservoirs. Boats are permitted for the reservoir specified on the application only, and must remain at the reservoir. All boats must be approved by and registered with NYC DEP. The DEP will honor current boat permits. Anglers who would like to register a new boat must first obtain a valid Public Access Permit and then file a Boating Tag Application in person. For more information on boating, or to schedule an appointment to process a new boat, contact the appropriate Watershed Protection Office:
•Ashokan Reservoir, Box 370, NYS Route 28A, Shokan, NY 12481; (845) 657-2663
•Schoharie Reservoir, Box 234, Road Seven, Prattsville, NY 12468; 607-588-6237
•Rondout & Neversink Reservoirs, Box 358, NYS Route 42, Grahamsville, NY 12740; (845) 985-0386
•Pepacton & Cannonsville Reservoirs, Box D, NYS Route 30, Downsville, NY 13755; (607) 363-7009/7010
•All East of Hudson Reservoirs, 54 Croton Falls Road, Mahopac, NY 10541; (914)232-1309
For more information about fishing on NYC reservoirs, visit the NYC Department of Environmental Protection website. |
Here's a link to the NYC Department of Environmental Protection website:
http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/watershed_protection/access.shtml
Boating there is problematic, because you need need to register your boat, have it inspected and leave it at the reservoir. Has anyone here done that?
