- Guide To Stream Trout Fishing on New York City Watershed Property in Putnam County
- 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. In recognition of the high quality habitat and excellent thermal regimes present in some of these tailwaters, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation manages three of the best under "Artificial Lures Only" regulations. In two cases, these are coupled with high size limits and low daily limits. In another, we have employed a "No Kill"regulation. On all three of the streams the goal is to give trout additional protection, compared to the regular statewide regulations, in an effort to keep more fish in the stream and to allow more to reach larger sizes. Where natural spawning is especially significant, the trout season runs from April 1 to September 30; others have longer seasons.
