Freshwater Fishing on Long Island


There are outstanding opportunities for freshwater fishing on Long Island, in more than 500 lakes and ponds, and well over 30 miles of streams. NYS DEC helps to maintain the trout fishing tradition through its stocking program, and provides boat launches for anglers to fish in freshwater. The I Fish NY© partnership between NYS DEC and NY Sea Grant promotes fishing in the metropolitan area and it organizes outdoor fishing festivals and classes for students.
