This data displays the locations of top rivers, streams, lakes and ponds for fishing in New York State, as determined by fisheries biologists working for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. These biologists recommended popular rivers, streams, lakes and ponds based on quality of fishing and public access. Data set was created based on their recommendations, and each point was placed at the center of the recommended lakes.
