Fishing in Upstate New York

Known as the root of American fly fishing, the Catskills provide ample opportunities for professional as well as casual weekend fishing enthusiasts when fishing in Upstate New York.  The never-ending supply of reservoirs, ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, and creeks in the Catskills create the perfect environment to cast a line. These various waterways provide prime fly fishing conditions, and the availability of professional guides help both seasoned and novice fishers to hone their skills. Before setting out on a great fly fishing in the Catskills adventure, contact our Reservations department at 845-688-2828 or visit our guided fly fishing partner, Catskill Mountain Anger, for information on obtaining a New York State fishing license, fishing equipment rentals, guided wading trips, and instruction and special pricing for Emerson guests.
