River Information

The Western Catskills is blessed to have over 150 miles of blue chip trout rivers.

The Beaverkill and Willowemoc have the most history out of the five major rivers we guide. These rivers are best for a beginner to start on.

The Delaware River System (east, west, mainstem) has more wild fish that tend to be harder to catch. These three rivers also are larger and more difficult to wade. A guide is recommended for these rivers.

Mousing trips are weather and flow dependent. Please call ahead for mousing information.
