Mongaup River Outpost

Type: outpost | Status: published | Tier: standard | Fishiness: 5/5

Remote fly-in-style outpost on the Mongaup River with basic bunks and unmatched solitude.

Mongaup River Outpost is the most remote fishing accommodation in the Catskills, accessible by a 2-mile dirt road that dead-ends at the property. The outpost consists of two bunkhouses sleeping 12 total, a communal kitchen, and a screened-in dining pavilion overlooking the Mongaup River. The Mongaup is a small freestone stream with wild brook trout in the headwaters and browns in the lower reaches — both see virtually zero fishing pressure. A resident guide leads wade trips into sections that haven't been fished in weeks. This is backcountry fishing for anglers who value solitude above all else. No electricity, no cell service, no neighbors.
