New york state fishing

Post by **P-O** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 5:19 pm

Hello everyone,

Well thats it, I just mail ordered my Ny state fishing liscence. As far as trout goes, its not too hard to find streams with brookies in it. And when I felt like fishing different group, I would go to papineau labelle. But seeing the price of the us liscence (40$us) I thought why not, its probably what it cost me to go to papineau labelle and instead of being for one day, its a year long thing...

The only thing, is that I have no experience at all with that area. I'm talking here about the st-lawrence county. The DEC website has many usefull info on stockings and all, but this info can only go so far.

So I've got a few questions for you guys :
-I'm thinking of driving around 1h30 to get there, what a good place to start with? Littleriver in Canton? I think the Oswegatchie River is not too far away either?

-Secondly, what do thoses rivers look like, wadebale?

-Thirdly, what flies should I make sure to tie before my first adventure next week?

thx,

P-O

P-0,

Here's a link to the NY DEC Region 6 Trout fishing page that should provide you with a lot of the info you're looking for. There are also a number of good rivers/creeks in Region 5.

As for wadeable water, with the exception of the sever weather we've been having, it should all be wadeable once the levels have returned to normal.

P-O,

If you can find it I would also suggest picking up a copy of the New York Atlas and Gazetteer (New York State Atlas and Gazetteer) [Publisher: DeLorme]
