Fish and Game

Dutchess is a prime area for deer hunting, including a six-week archery season. In designated areas you’ll find pheasant, grouse, woodcock, squirrel, cotton-tail rabbit, raccoon and waterfowl.

Whether you’re looking for trophy-class fish or you want to experience the quiet of a secluded trout stream, Dutchess County has it all. The Hudson River and our stocked streams and lakes have miles of public access. Hunters and waterfowlers can test themselves at one of our multiple use areas. For sporting clays, trap and skeet shooters, Dutchess County is a top Northeast destination.

There are many spots to catch trout, bass, pickerel and perch, and places to dip-net smelt, alewives and blueback herring. The Hudson is ideal for hooking largemouth and smallmouth bass, striped bass, brown bullhead, carp, white catfish and American shad.
