Hi, we are going to be in the lower part of the Hudson River Valley ( between NYC and Albany) in late April. We are looking for places to do fly fishing. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Esopus Creek
Not a fisherman myself, but I know that folks fly fish the Esopus Creek which is near Kingston, NY.
I googled Esopus Creek and found this website with info:

That’s probably convienient since it’s not far from the hudson and the thruway…
There are also other rivers in the catskills area further away from the Thurway that are probably fly fished, like the Neversink, the Basha Kill, etc. etc.
All of these are west of the hudson.
