I've flyfished both the water around 79th street, where they rent the
rowboats, and the Harlem Meer. Caught small bass in both places.
Generally worked the southwest shores of each body of water, with good
results.

It's about what you'd expect: more novelty than for actual quality
fishing. But then again, I'm not a big fan of still water fly
fishing, regardless of the location...


Fly Fisherman, or maybe FR&R did a story about fishing in Central Park
in the mid 90s. The article covered the Harlem Meer and finished with
Striper fishing in the East River, IIRC. The author, a regular on the
Hudson, claimed to have seen corpses floating by. Definitely a new
definition of combat fishing.
