Only 2 HOURS or 120 miles from the
GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE, Roscoe is nestled in the western
foothills of the CATSKILL MOUNTAINS, in the northwest corner of
Sullivan County. A small, quiet hamlet, we're a haven for
ANGLERS, HUNTERS, GOLFERS, NATURE LOVERS and ANTIQUE COLLECTORS.
We sit at the gateway to the CATSKILL PARK, just a stones throw
from the confluence of the world-renowned BEAVERKILL and
WILLOWEMOC RIVERS.
Come see for
yourself why people visit for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.

Welcome to Roscoe
Spring has finally arrived to
Roscoe after a long cold winter it is nice to see the trees with
new buds and the trout fishermen and tourists arrive. "Trout
Town U.S.A." celebrated the ceremonial "first cast" on Saturday
April 5th at the famous Junction Pool. This year the first cast
was shared by DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis and television
character actor Olek Krupa. Both were "out fished" by an 8 year
old from Long Island who caught two nice 14" Brown Trout. The
weekend included the annual Two Headed Trout Dinner, attended by
120 guests and was open to the public. The Catskill Fly Fishing
Center and Museum was host to over 100 visitors during the day.
Roscoe is alive and well. After
suffering thru floods in the area the past two years we look
forward to a prosperous spring and summer. The construction on
Rt. 206 is complete and the road is open. The area golf courses
are open earlier than usual due to dry weather. Trout fishing
has picked up with an early hatch. Our Farmers Market will open
in May during the weekend. Our Chamber of Commerce was awarded a
Grant from Sullivan County Renaissance and will be working on
many projects within the town. Be sure to check out our wood
carved 8 ' trout and the two headed trout that will be displayed
in our town this summer. Roscoe is truely a beautiful town to
visit. It offers many things to do, especially if you love the
outdoors. Our shops, motels, campsites and fine restaurants are
open and ready to welcome our visitors. Our new web-site is
almost complete and will provide our visitors and tourists with
up-dated information on all the events takin place in Roscoe and
the surrounding area during the spring and summer. Don't let the
gas prices slow you down. We are only an few hours drive from
N.Y. City, N.J. PA. and New England. plan your getaway weekend
or vacation now and see why people come for a visit and stay for
a life time.

Weekly
Fishing Report
April 28,2008
The
Trout fishing has really improved over the last few days. Both
the Beaverkill and Willowemoc are now at great levels for
fishermen.
The
insect hatches are now quite reliable with Hendrickson’s, Blue
Quill’s, Quill Gordon’s and Caddis Flies on the water. Anglers
have been reporting rising fish up and down the river.
Most of the dry fly action has been later in the day. Nymph and
Streamer fishing has been productive throughout the day.
We
have some cooler weather forecast for the middle of the week
which may cause the insect hatches to return to their usual
afternoon emergence time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Flies to have; Dry Flies- Hendrickson’s, Blue Quill’s,
Quill Gordon’s, Caddis Flies. Nymph’s- Streamer’s- Bead
