About Neversink River
A historically pivotal Catskills stream — birthplace of the Catskill dry-fly tying style and the proving ground of Hewitt and LaBranche. The lower river below Neversink Reservoir holds wild browns; the upper wild reaches still support native brook trout. Quintessential Catskill tradition flows through every pool.
Regulations
Lower river open access with standard NY trout regs. Upper river above Neversink Reservoir has restricted access in places (private leases) — check current status. Requires NYSDEC license.
