Fishing Lake Shenorock in Westchester County, New York

• Overview

  In New York, Lake Shenorock falls inside Westchester County. The country here is mixed woodland. The water measures roughly 16 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. For a base, Shenorock sits 0.2 miles out. It is 17 miles to North Stamford, the nearest city. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lake Shenorock

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Species logged across Westchester County include common carp, striped bass, bluegill and brown trout. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Lake Shenorock that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 73°F, with January the cold end at about 27°F. The swings are modest, so patterns change slowly. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. It holds true on Lake Shenorock more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. There are picnic tables recorded roughly half a mile off. Mapping records toilets within 0.9 miles. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Should this one be busy, Lake Lincolndale is 1.2 miles off. None of that is settled for Lake Shenorock in what we hold.
