Fishing Glencoma Lake in Westchester County, New York

• Overview

  Glencoma Lake lies in Westchester County, in New York. It lies 531 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 4 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. The nearest place of any size is Shenorock, 1.3 miles away. The big place round here is North Stamford, 18 miles distant. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Glencoma Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Westchester County records list common carp, striped bass, bluegill and brown trout among the fish reported. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Glencoma Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 72°F and January about 26°F. The season stretches long at both ends here. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. On Glencoma Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Teakettle Spout Lake at 0.5 miles is the sensible second choice. What applies at Glencoma Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
