Quick Lake Fishing Guide, Sullivan County, New York

• Overview

  Quick Lake sits within Sullivan County in New York. Elevation runs to 2,024 feet. This is a pocket water of some 4 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Our Sullivan County list holds plenty of bigger water. Livingston Manor sits 6.2 miles from the bank. Further out sit Liberty (12 miles) and Fallsburg (19 miles). Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Quick Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Sullivan County records list brown trout, brook trout and smallmouth bass among the fish reported. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Quick Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 65°F; the cold one sits at 19°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. After early April the shallows warm and the fish move up. The open-water window runs from around early April to about mid December in an average year. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. On Quick Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lake Uncas sits 1.7 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Quick Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
