An enchanting world of lush greens, wildflowers, and wary trout awaits just two hours from New York City. This magical land of blue-ribbon water is not only the birthplace of American fly fishing, but remains one of the country's premier destinations.
Nestled in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains lies the charming village of Roscoe, NY. Known as "Trout Town USA," it is situated at the historic confluence of the Beaverkill and Willowemoc Rivers.
Catskill Guiding Service has specialized in the famed Beaverkill and West Branch of the Delaware River for over three decades. Founded on a commitment to a refined fly fishing experience, we have long served those seeking deeper insights into the art of angling.
Under a Guide Emeritus philosophy, our focus has shifted from excursions to consulting and advancing the evolution of fly tying and angling. While currently on sabbatical to complete the upcoming book Epoch of Emu, we remain resolute stewards of this world-class, wild fishery.
We are deeply committed to conservation and strongly advocate for catch-and-release with barbless hooks. We regard these standards as necessary to ensure these historic waters remain a vibrant jewel in the landscape of American fly fishing.
