With a land area of 167 acres, James J. Braddock Park is one of the largest and most beautiful of Hudson County’s parks. The park is home to the 16-acre Woodcliff Lake and has an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline. The day begins with indoor hands-on instructions on setting up your rod/reel, understanding terminal tackle and types of live bait and lures, next honing your knot tying skills. After lunch, participants will go outside for casting practice then fishing. Fishing here is catch & release only and anyone age 16 to 69 must have a current fishing license. Equipment will be provided. Bring your lunch, snacks and a beverage.
