Fishing Poles

The Library, in collaboration with the New York State Department of Conservation, loans fishing poles. The poles can be checked out for 7 days with your Library card. If you are over the age of 16 make sure to have a fishing license.

For more information on fishing, statewide regulations, and more, check out the NYS DEC's fishing website.

Check out this website on how to make a palomar knot, the knot used to tie a hook onto a line for fishing.

Have you ever seen a Muskellunge? Neither have we, but they are in season, so grab a rod and get fishing! (nb: we can't guarrantee that you wil catch one of these with a library rod...but we bet you'll have fun trying!)
