This summer, the Department of Environmental Conservation staff hosted the 2nd Annual Women’s Fishing Event Series. These events intended to introduce Women, Trans, Femme, and Non-binary individuals to the sport of fishing through free freshwater and saltwater fishing clinics. Despite the dry, hot heat in Prospect Park Lake and wet, foggy weather in South Cove, Battery Park, folks showed up and had a blast catching and releasing fish. Due to the success of these events we plan to repeat similar programs again in 2025. Keep an eye out for future events and reach out fwfish2@dec.ny.gov with any questions.
