Hudson River's Winter Fishing Opportunities: Trout, Stripers, and More
Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
Today, January 24, 2025, the Hudson River is offering some promising fishing opportunities despite the cold weather. Here’s what you need to know:
### Tidal Report
As of today, the tidal times for the Hudson River are as follows: Low tide at 4:46 AM with a height of 0.2 meters (0.64 ft), high tide at 10:41 AM with a height of 1.07 meters (3.5 ft), low tide at 5:45 PM with a height of 0.17 meters (0.56 ft), and high tide at 11:14 PM with a height of 0.83 meters (2.71 ft)[2].
### Weather
The cold weather continues, with temperatures expected to remain low. This has frozen over many of the freshwater ponds and inshore bays, making the rivers your best bet for fishing.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 7:15 AM, and sunset is at 4:59 PM.
### Fish Activity
Despite the cold, fish activity is still present. In the Hudson River, you can expect to find striped bass, particularly holdover stripers, which are active in the colder months. Trout fishing in the tributaries is also productive, with rainbow, brown, and brook trout biting well on small flies and light jigs[1].
### Types of Fish Caught
Yesterday, anglers reported catching trout in the tributaries like the Connetquot and Carmans rivers. In the Hudson River itself, holdover striped bass and occasional white perch in the brackish sections were reported.
### Best Lures and Bait
For trout, small flies and midges are highly effective. Streamers, although less effective in the current cold, can still hook a few nice trout. For striped bass, using plugs and soft plastics like the Ned rig or small paddletail lures can be very effective[1].
### Hot Spots
If you're looking to fish for striped bass, consider heading to Pete And Toshi Seeger Riverfront Park or Long Dock Park in Beacon, NY. These spots offer good access to the deeper channels of the Hudson River[3].
For trout fishing, the Connetquot and Carmans rivers are excellent choices. These rivers remain unfrozen and offer a serene environment for trout fishing, especially under the gentle snowfall.
Stay warm and good luck on the water
