Fly Fishing at Connetquot

April 19, 2025

Stocked fresh water flyfishing is not immediately available in town, so this is an opportunity to do something different on a spring Saturday morning, with all the details sorted out by EHSA. The trout fishing season began on April 1, and trout stocking began in March and runs through early June. The Connetquot receives 3,000-4,000 stocked brown and rainbow trout annually at this time, as well as hosting a wild brook trout population. Meet to carpool, or drive direct (1.5 hours drive). Cost: $25 per person for NYS permit; reserved spot. Gear: Conventional fly-fishing equipment required. Don't have it? For thirty-four bucks you can be kitted out like a pro.

The Bonackers is a 60-minute documentary about the men and women who've fished and farmed the land and seas of the East End of Long Island since their ancestors arrived here in the 1600's.

In the words of the film’s director, “They are struggling to survive in the midst of the mansion filled Hamptons, and may well be the last of their kind. I've been recording their stories, traditions, history, and sagas out on their boats and bays and in their homes fields and farms for the past two years."

Spring Turkey Season

May 1, 2025 - May 21, 2025

Spring Turkey Season!

Wednesday, May 1 opens the spring turkey season and continues on Town lands through Wednesday May 22nd - just before Memorial Day weekend - then resumes for May 28-31. Last spring a total of 2,000 people registered to hunt on state lands alone in Suffolk County, and zero hunting safety incidents were reported. As a reminder, hunting is only until noon each day and one bearded bird per season is the limit.

Local town lands are open to turkey hunting, where already designated for small game hunting. No reservation or registration is required.

Private land is huntable where not otherwise prohibited. In East Hampton itself, the only state land offering turkey hunting is Barcelona Neck, where DEC requires spring turkey hunters to register and make a reservation. Starting April 22nd, hunters can call the DEC at 631-380-3312 to secure a spot at Barcelona or other sites managed by the DEC.

Suffolk County has added spring turkey on selected parcels (Buckskill, Six Pole in EH), versus nothing last year. There is a sign up and lottery and green key requirement, all detailed here.

Mentored Turkey Hunt for Youth

April 17 training, then April 20 or 21 in the field.

Registration closes April 10. Licensed youth hunters 12-15 are eligible for free expert guided individual Turkey hunts, offered by the DEC. They recruit multiple veteran hunters to take kids out and share their knowledge. Register or get more information here.
