Amdur Park Lake Fishing in Orange County, New York

• Overview

  Amdur Park Lake is an Orange County water, in New York. Around the bank it is mixed woodland. It covers about 4 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. On size it sits at the modest end of our Orange County list. Some 0.9 miles away sits Kiryas Joel, the nearest settlement. For a city, Paterson is 30 miles off. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Amdur Park Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Fish documented in Orange County include common carp, brook trout and bluegill. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Amdur Park Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 72°F, with January the cold end at about 25°F. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Amdur Park Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. You will be walking about half a mile from the nearest car park. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Lebanon Lake is 0.6 miles distant. Nothing on Amdur Park Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
