Catch and Release in Prospect Park

Fish School NYC offers all inclusive private fishing trips in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, to get kids and families fishing. 

Target species include bluegill, part of the sunfish family, which are huge in number in the park.  Occasionally, largemouth bass have also been caught, which are more rare in the park but great fighters. Fishing is entirely catch and release. 

Not only will kids get a great experience fishing Brooklyn’s only lake, but they will also learn about aquatic life and ecology, fish handling, knot tying, how to use a fishing rod, and more!
