| 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. 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. |

| All fish are released to catch and fight another day. If you see someone keeping short fish you can report them to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation at 718.482.4885. Keeping under sized fish hurts the resource. You can view seasons, size, and possession limits at Recreational Saltwater Fishing Regulations.

Ideal Pet Warehouse
If you live on the Upper East Side the best place to buy bait is the pet store on 116th St. & 1st Ave. They always have a supply of bunker (East River staple), salted & unsalted clams, blood worms and sand worms. They also have a small selection of rigs and sinkers. (212) 860-2543
One of my favorite web sites now has a book. See a different side of NYC.
