One of the major attractions to the Meer in Central Park is Catch and Release Fishing.
Stocked with largemouth bass, channel catfish, bluegill sunfish, pumpkinseed sunfish, grass carp, chain pickerel, rock perch, and golden shiners, the
Meer is a veritable source of entertainment for kids and adults who like to dangle their fishing poles in the tranquil waters of this little sea.
