Brown Trout
The Cold Spring area provides some surprisingly good brown trout fishing if you know where to look. While the Hudson River itself isn't ideal, several smaller tributaries and streams in the surrounding highlands offer opportunities to hook into these beautiful fish. The best times are spring and fall, particularly after a rain when water levels are slightly elevated. Focus on areas with deep pools, undercut banks, and riffles. A good access point is along some of the smaller streams accessible from hiking trails in the Hudson Highlands State Park. Remember to check DEC regulations for specific stream closures and tackle restrictions. A local tip: brown trout in these streams can be quite wary, so use light line and natural-looking presentations like small nymphs or dry flies. The brown trout population in this area is sustained through both natural reproduction and stocking, so you'll find a mix of wild and stocked fish.
