Question 1

Why is the Beaverkill River famous for fly fishing?

The Beaverkill is considered the birthplace of American fly fishing. Its crystal-clear waters, prolific insect hatches, and wild brown trout population have attracted anglers since the 1800s. The river's no-kill sections near Roscoe maintain excellent fish populations. A guide helps you navigate the river's many pools, riffles, and pocket water.

Yes — many Beaverkill guides specialize in instruction for beginners. The river has accessible wading and forgiving currents in many sections. A half-day guided trip is enough for most beginners to learn basic casting and catch their first trout on a fly.
