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.

 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 Head Nymphs, Caddis Pupa, Wooly Buggers, Zonkers
