and celebrate every accomplishment, no
matter how small. Be sure that you ob-
tain a valid fishing license before head-
ing down to the water — you don’t want
to have an unfortunate encounter with a
law-enforcement officer and end your
child’s first fishing trip on a sour note.
If you’d like to learn a few more
tips and tricks for making your son or
daughter’s first fishing trip a good one,

hensive review of the subject https://

more about picking the best equipment
for your kids, targeting the best species
and selecting a good location.
Jon Sutton loves to spend time in the woods
and on the water. His life has revolved
around outdoors since his early childhood
days when he caught his first bluegill in
his local pond. Since then he has grown
into a full-fledged angler targeting salmon
and bass during his free time. He also en-
joys hiking, camping and seeing the world
through travel. He is currently a content
manager for Outdoor Empire.
Where to Fish In
Western New York
If you’ve never fished be-
fore, or don’t know where to
fish in a lake, stream, or pond
near you, the New York State
Department of Environmental
Education maintains a web page
with information on places to
fish in Western New York, with
information on each fishing spot
such as physical features, species
stocked, species occurring natu-
rally, special regulations, and
public access.
On this same page, you will
also find a link to a list, by coun-
ty, of fishing access sites for an-
glers with disabilities.
