| The East River - Upper East Side urban anglers don't need to travel to Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx or Long Island to go fishing. We have good fishing right in our back yard, John Finley Walk Way, along the FDR Drive. One of my favorite spots on the Upper East Side, 15 minute walk from my apartment. It's located just north of Carl Schurz Park and Gracie Mansion. Noreast.com has excellent discussion forums about fishing in the metropolitan area. A great book to read if you surf/bank/pier fish in New York City is "The Other Islands of New York City: A History and Guide". Learn the history of your secret spot. | NYC East River Urban Angler Fishing Videos |
