Fishing

Fishing is a popular activity at Fiddlers Green. Anglers come to the park for both wild and stocked brown trout, although brook trout and are sometimes caught as well. Each year the Onondaga County’s Carpenter’s Brook Fish Hatchery stocks Butternut Creek with roughly 5,200 yearling brown trout (8-9”), 2,400 two-year-old brown trout (12-14”) and 600 brook trout (8-10”). Statewide regulations for trout specify that any size may be taken, with a limit of 5; no more than 2 of the 5 can be longer than 12”. The season runs from April 1 through October 15.
