Flats Snow Shoes

pretty clever, although it doesn’t appear that they worked quite as expected, it was cool to see them out trying something new.

the show is also just what this winter “cold snap” ordered. great to see some quality fishing shows on tv. definitely should check it out.

the pond is on the southern and most eastern corner of the park and is easily accessible from a number of subways. its small, and you are dealing with one of the most traffic’d parts of the park, but the bass will readily take poppers and the panfish are surprisingly feisty.

the pond central park nyc

there are a handful of coi/carp that i’ve seen cruising around or sitting out in the center, but have yet to get a shot at them or see them really feeding for that matter.

the biggest drawback is that the area is so heavily traffic’d. there are people everywhere! you constantly get the “paranoid mom fish eye” who is sure you backcast is going to hook her son in the eye. but the characters abound. on the other hand, you also get the crazy old man on the bench who stands up, walks to the edge of the pond, claps and cheers each time you hook up and land one. but there are always a few folks who are willing to snap a few photos of your catch so no need to bring your own camera.

all in all its a fun place to wet a line for an hour or two while you are in the city.
