A small river, part of the Croton Watershed, is one of my favorite places to fish near the city. It has a healthy supply of brown trout. These 10" and 15" browns were tricked by a size 16 henryville special that resembled the unknown hatch or spinner fall that was talking place, causing the fish to rise one late afternoon. The fish were rising in a slow moving, flat glide pool.
Further downstream there are some good rocky runs and riffles. I've caught browns similar to the 10" shown above behind rocks in runs, by inducing rises with dry flies. In some, even smaller sections of the stream, in the rocky lips of some glide pools i've taken some medium to smaller sized trout. Needless to say, this small stream is a gem of a spot, and most anglers look it over, as i am usually the only visitor.
