  • For the first (but definitely not last) time I found myself in Southeastern New Yorks famed Catskill Mountain (actually a glaciated plateau). This area is historically significant in the realm of American Fly Fishing with rivers like the Beaverkill and Willowemoc. Although we only caught 10 or so trout over a few days, we had a wonderful time in this area. The scenery was beautiful, the public access was great, and the quality of the water was wonderful. Roscoe NY was a perfect little Trout Town as well.

    Pretty sure that big boy was a wild. Great video as always

      Very nice holdover brown!! Definitely not wild… the pectoral fins give it away.👍

      As a Pennsylvania trout fisherman (whose sampled the east coast and somewhat out west), I can safely say the Catskills are one of the best in the Northeast. The relative size of these streams which hold wild/native trout are special. Public access is generally great (aside from a few notable stream sections). I cannot wait to come back for a second try, albeit it is super popular and crowded at times. Very selective fish on the fly. Beautiful area generally.

      Tictok does such. Go Pa.Trout. Have you ever fished Bucks or S.E. Pa streams? There are not many that have Wild trout ,Valley cr.,where l lived as a boy and Cooks Cr. There are a few others but skinny waters and not known.

    The DEC doesn't stock 'bows in the entire Delaware watershed. Browns are stocked in the Bkill and Willow and a minor stocking in the EBr. But the WBr and Mainstem are essentially wild trout fisheries. Like the video. Also, it's willo-WE-moc.😊

    Looks like some great waters to visit. I’m moving upstate and I just started fly fishing. Can’t wait to get up there 🤙

    Your leader may have been too heavy. Fish on the Beaverkill are line shy (try 6x or even 7x if the water is low and clear)
    Nymphs: 16 anchor fly with a 18 dropper.

    Nice! I'll be in cross forks starting tomorrow. hoping to grab a couple on the fly!

    • @TravelingTroutCo

      Ayyy..hope you did well man Cross Forks (also Hammersley and Kettle) are top notch PA native brook trout streams when the water levels are good.

    Just dropping in and not knowing where you were going I would say you did well. I fish up there all season on all those streams and once you know the waters better and the hatches you would do real well. Exception, the Delaware can even humble those "experts" like me on some days!!

    • @TravelingTroutCo

      Thanks man! First time but will definitely return. Tried the Beaverkill but got skunked (although I know its the historic/premiere stream in that area). I also tried the West Branch on this trip but similarly didn't catch anything. Without a drift boat, its hard to cover alot of water on those bigger tailwaters.

    During one of my clubs for school we went up to pine creek and stocked it with trout so if I were you I’d go up there

      My family has a cabin up on Pine Creek so I'll be up there soon enough. My favorite place on early for fishing and hiking.

    You should try euro nymphing this fall

    • @TravelingTroutCo
      @TravelingTroutCo  Год назад

      As someone (myself) who discreetly believes you have multiple accounts that in the past have shit on me intensely, I may try that. Granted, I have no idea what euro nymphing entails (aside from tightlines, and I think up-side-down hooks), I am clueless. I have family friends who do euro nymphing and swear by it so I'll probably give it a try someday.

    Take a 7WT fly rod with you in case you need something extra to help you punch through wind!! 😇
