Free Fishing Day in NY!

Steelhead from the Cattaraugus Creek

The NYS Dept of Environmental Conservation is hosting a FREE fishing day on February 15-16, June 28-29, September 27, and November 11th. There’s no fishing license required on those days for the fresh or marine waters of New York State, making it the opportune time for people of all ages to learn and enjoy the day. We especially encourage those with more experience to bring along the young people in their lives to show them the value of patience, the anticipation of the bite, and the exhilaration of the catch!

Places to fish in the Enchanted Mountains include Red House and Quaker Lakes in Allegany State Park, Case Lake, Harwood Lake, New Albion Lake, and Lime Lake!  Stream and creek fishing is found in the Cattaraugus, Clear, Ischua, and Mansfield Creeks. Read more about fishing in the Enchanted Mountains.

See you out there!
