Fishing near New York City, New York

New York City sits on the New York County side of New York. Anglers here drive out rather than walk down. Distance order, nearest first: Reservoir Number Three reached in 3.1 miles to the north-west, Hackensack Reservoir Number Two reached in 3.7 miles, The Pond reached in 3.9 miles to the north-east, Prospect Park Lake reached in 4.5 miles, Turtle Pond reached in 4.9 miles to the north-east, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir reached in 5.5 miles then The Pool reached in 6.0 miles to the north-east. On The Pond the margins hold more than the middle, so start tight and stay tight. Almost all of it is lake rather than river. Shade and light shape the day more than the month does. Winter shuts the surface here. The weeks straight after the thaw fish hardest. Reservoir Number Three has mapped parking, which saves a long carry. The far end of this list is a proper drive from New York City....
