Just off hand I can think of the  Hudson river and Harriman state park which is a big area between the thurway and the hudson river with several lakes in it. Below Beacon is Croton falls I've caught trout there.

 Sounds good , thanks ! I was thinking the Hudson but was wondering if Striper were still running ?

The striper run is over, but thats not to say you still can't catch a striper now. There are a few that stay in the hudson all year and they are usually small fish.

Good luck and let us know how you make out.
