Fishing

In the southernmost section is Massapequa Reservoir which is considered one of the most popular fishing spots in all of Nassau County. It is stocked with trout which can really draw people, especially in the weekends.  Some of the fish include:

Largemouth Bass
Sunfish
Black Crappie
White Perch
Catfish
Brown Bullhead
Carp
American Eel

The lake has had a long history as a fishery even going back into the 1800’s.  Back then, people used to take the Long Island Railroad to Massapequa just to go fishing.
