Points of Interest
Putnam County, located about 60 miles north of New York
City in the heart of the picturesque Hudson Valley, is an area rich in
colonial history, suburban beauty, and modern conveniences.
Putnam County, located in southeastern New York State,
is bounded by Connecticut to the east, Westchester County
to the south, and Dutchess
County to the north.
Before 1812, the area known as Putnam County was part of
the much larger Dutchess
County to the north. Orginally purchased by Dutch settlers
from the Indians in the late 1600's the land was later sold to the
wealthy Philipse family, and in 1812 the 235 square mile piece named
for Revolutionary War General Israel Putnam was declared an independent
county by the New York State Legislature.

The
price of liberty ran high in the lower Hudson Valley during a war that
bought freedom with blood.
It began with the arrival of the Union Jack fluttering atop a massive
fleet of British ships sailing into New York Harbor in July 1776. It
ended, after seven years of hard fighting, when the forces of the Crown
went home in defeat.

- Guide To Stream Trout Fishing on New York City
Watershed Property in Putnam County
- Trout anglers will find many fine fishing
opportunities on stream segments downstream of nine New York City
Reservoirs. Combined, these nine stream segments offer over 13 miles of
publicly accessible trout water. In most cases, brown trout are the
most common species, while in others, rainbow and sometimes even an
occasional brook trout provide diversity. In recognition of the high
quality habitat and excellent thermal regimes present in some of these
tailwaters, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
manages three of the best under "Artificial Lures Only" regulations. In
two cases, these are coupled with high size limits and low daily
limits. In another, we have employed a "No Kill"regulation. On all
three of the streams the goal is to give trout additional protection,
compared to the regular statewide regulations, in an effort to keep
more fish in the stream and to allow more to reach larger sizes. Where
natural spawning is especially significant, the trout season runs from
April 1 to September 30; others have longer seasons.
