DEC finishes work on new fishing access site in Macomb

Posted

MACOMB -- New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Region 6, recently finished work on a new fishing access site here.

The Yellow Lake Fishing Access Site (FAS) is on Hall road in the southern region of Macomb.

There is a small four-vehicle gravel parking area approximately two-hundred feet from the hand launch into Yellow Lake.

There is also an accessible parking spot.

This site can accommodate car-top vehicles with a canoe, kayak, or small hand carry boat. It cannot accommodate trailered boats or any vessel equipped with an engine over ten horsepower.

The sport fishery in Yellow Lake consists mainly of panfish such as the black crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed, and rock bass. There are also opportunities for catching brown bullhead, largemouth bass, northern pike, tiger muskellunge and yellow perch, DEC said.
