Hi everyone; I'm moving from Buffalo to downstate NY near the Hudson Valley. I'll be TOTALLY unfamiliar with the territory, and wanted to know if there are any tips/hotspots that could get my summer fishing underway sooner than later!
I generally like to fish freshwater lakes for bass, perch, crappie and other panfish. Not too big into the stripers, trout and the likes. I know the entire catskills region is littered with little lakes and ponds that are buried in the mountains, which would be perfect for me. How is it accessing these places, and how is the fishing? I'll have a 16' aluminum boat on a small trailer, and I am looking into getting a canoe.
Also, I can't seem to get the NY "Lakes" page to come up - just the general NY State threads...whats up with that? Thanks in advance.
