Seth Fera-Schanes, Guide at Central Park Fishing
Step into a side of New York City most visitors never imagine—peaceful water, arches of oak trees, and fish waiting just beneath the surface. Central Park Fishing offers a one-of-a-kind urban angling experience right in the heart of Manhattan. Whether you’re a local looking for a relaxing break from the city rush or a traveler searching for the most unique activity in NYC, this guided fishing adventure delivers a memorable escape just steps from the skyline.
Your guide has over a decade of experience fishing Central Park’s lakes and ponds, and he’s also a licensed New York State fishing guide. Since founding the Central Park Fishing Meetup group in 2018, he has taught hundreds of anglers of all ages and backgrounds—making this one of the most welcoming and community-driven fishing experiences in the city. Beginners, kids, families, couples, and seasoned anglers are all invited to join in on the fun.
Every private session is designed to be easy, relaxed, and hands-on. You’ll learn the best techniques for catching the park’s thriving species, including largemouth bass, bluegill, and various panfish. Your guide provides all the necessary gear, from quality rods and reels to tackle selected specifically for the park’s waters. With step-by-step coaching, this experience is ideal for anyone who wants to try fishing for the first time or rediscover a love for the outdoors without ever leaving Manhattan.
Trips run for 90 minutes, making them a perfect fit for busy schedules, vacation itineraries, date ideas, or family outings. Central Park offers several beautiful fishing spots, from the iconic Central Park Lake to the quieter Harlem Meer, where fewer crowds and abundant wildlife create a peaceful, nature-filled setting. Your guide’s deep local experience ensures you’ll visit the best locations for the day’s conditions.
Peak season runs from spring through fall, when mild weather and active fish create ideal conditions. Off-season trips remain a hidden gem—cooler air, calm paths, and quiet water make winter outings surprisingly relaxing and photogenic.
Whether you're hoping to land your first fish, learn new skills, or simply enjoy a relaxing outdoor moment in one of the world’s most famous parks, Central Park Fishing provides an unforgettable New York City adventure. Book your private experience today and see the city from a completely different angle.
