| Recently I was travelling through Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties and I crossed/passed by several small rivers: the Indian, Oswegatchie, and Grass. I was wondering if any New Yorkers could tell me whether any of these rivers hold muskies and/or pike.
Thank you. |

| i lived in Jefferson Co. for 3 1/2 years and did a lot of backpacking and exploring in the area. it's definitely worth checking out the creeks and rivers all along L.Ontario and the St. Lawrence for esox.
lots of good kayak/canoe paddle fishing trips available in that area.
here's a bit of a start:

My brother lived in Watertown for about 7 years and fished the Grass several times. There is some pretty decent musky fishing in that river. I've seen several TV shows by Don Meissner of Rod & Reel Streamside out of Watertown where he caught muskies on the Grass. I don't know much about any of the other rivers you mentioned, but if they drain into the St. Lawrence then there is a good chance there are muskies. As far as pike goes I'd bet that just about all of them have some pike, unless they are coldwater trout streams. The grass is a pretty decent river for float fishing in a small boat or canoe.

Location: Lebanon,Mo | I was born and raised in Western New york and can tell you the rivers in that area(Allegany,Genesee,etc.) have pike and muskies in them as well as most small lakes around did have some what of a population of pike.I have seen pictures in the local papers there(Olean) with people holding some very large muskies that I never thought roamed those rivers.Now I reside in Missouri...go figure. |
