Rainbow Trout

If you're seeking rainbow trout near Larchmont, you'll need to head inland to find suitable streams and rivers. Larchmont itself, being coastal, doesn't offer much in the way of trout habitat. Look to the streams and rivers in Westchester and Putnam counties; these are stocked annually. Spring and fall are the prime times for trout fishing, coinciding with stocking schedules and cooler water temperatures. A good local tactic is to use small spinners or spoons in the faster-moving water, or try nymph fishing in the slower pools. Be aware of any special regulations regarding trout fishing, such as catch-and-release zones or gear restrictions. A New York State fishing license is required. While the trout here are primarily stocked, they offer a fun and accessible angling experience relatively close to Larchmont.
