DETAILS:                      Fishing fosters patience and is a great way to connect with and learn about  the natural world.  Our fishing programs include discussions with our Rangers about the ethics of fishing and teach participants about the ecology of the city’s waterways.  Whether you chose to grab a simple bamboo pole at a quiet lake, or join more advanced salt water or fly fishing programs, you’ll find a program that fits your skill level. 

 

Families and children ages 8 years and older are welcome to participate in our fishing programs.  Participation in a mandatory safety review is required.  All equipment is provided.  All fishing programs are catch and release, and most fishing programs are first-come, first-served.  FREE.

 

For more information please visit www.nyc.gov/parks/rangers or call 311 and ask for the Urban Park Rangers.
