Question from a Minnesota visitor

[Wish2Fish]

Hi,

I get to New York fairly often, particularly Westchester County. There are some beautiful lakes there; they look like amazing fishing waters. But I've never seen anybody on them. Rye Lake & the Muscoot Resevoir are always boat-free when I pass them. Lakes like that near a metro area here in Minnesota would almost always host a number of boat with eager anglers on board. Even on weekdays. I'm just curious. Thanks.

Wish2Fish - Westchester County is in Region 3 and the contact info I provided below...

Rye I did not see any special regulations for but I believe that Muscoot Reservoir requires a special boat permit..
