Fishing in New York City? 

You bet! Each summer, Hudson River Park offers Big City Fishing, a free program, to those eager to learn how to fish and learn more about the Hudson River environment.

Beyond learning how to fish, the program also provides participants with a first-hand opportunity to learn about river ecology and the many fish species that can be found in the river.

Come check out the park and try out their program. You can drop in a line and relax, or engage with environmental educators on such topics such as water quality, fish biology and more. 

Rods, reels, bait and instruction are provided.  There is no reservation time - you can walk up/join anytime between 1pm and 5pm.
