Overnight backpack fishing trip suggestions

[BKhunter]

Hey All,

 

Anyone have any suggestions for an overnight backpacking trip within a 2-3 hr drive of NYC where I can do a little fishing also. Doesn’t have to be a crazy hike in but looking to get away from crowds and have a nice peaceful trip and do some fishing and camping.

Here's a DEC fishing access map per region for you to choose from. You will also have to locate state land that allows camping.

Adirondack brook trout trip is definitely on my bucket list too. i'll be keeping an eye on this thread

wish I had time to do some brook trout fishing in Maine when I went up for my moose hunt. There was a father and son who were using the same outfitter as me and they came up a few days early to catch some brookies. they did really well and showed me some pictures. super jealous. couple 2 - 3 pounders and a boat load of good 12-15 inchers. all full spawning colors

bucket list for me is an 18"+ brookie.  Ive caught a lot of brook trout in streams in the dacks but never one real huge one. Nothing more beautiful than the brook trout.

Most likely Catskills as I think that is closer then the ADK. I've done a weekend trip up there and it's a pretty far drive so trying to stay within 2 hrs of the city. I know it's not as nice and more crowded but my time is limited.
