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.
