About Beaverkill River

The birthplace of American fly fishing. The Beaverkill at Roscoe — home of the Catskill Fly Fishing Center — is the storied water where Theodore Gordon, Lee Wulff, and Art Flick refined the dry-fly tradition. Legendary Hendrickson and Green Drake hatches, with classic pool-and-riffle water through the Junction Pool and Cooks Falls no-kill section.
