Fall is a great time to fish in New York, particularly on Long Island where mild temperatures typically extend a bit longer than they do in more northerly sections of New York State. Each fall, DEC stocks 15 waters on Long Island with catchable-size brown trout that provides excellent late season fishing throughout the fall and winter and into next spring.
Most waters are managed under a year-round, any size, three fish regulation, but special regulations exist for brook trout and some waters including the Connetquot River, Nissequogue River, Carmans River, Laurel Lake and Deep Pond, so be sure to check the freshwater fishing regulations guide before heading out. Contact the DEC Region 1 office for more information on stocking locations.
