Fishing:

  • With its many rivers, reservoirs, streams, brooks, and lakes, this area affords a wide variety of fishing and is the birthplace of American fly fishing. World class fishing streams have been drawing anglers to Delaware County for years. The legendary waters of the Beaverkill and the Delaware provide incredible trout fishing and the reservoir system ensures premium fishing conditions all season long. Start with information about licensing and basics on the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) web site and the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce website:

  • American Fly fishing was born in the Catskill Mountains. Check out the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum or the Catskill Fly Fishing websites for more information:

  • Reservoirs
    To fish or boat on the reservoirs, you’ll need a special reservoir permit in addition to a regular fishing license. Permits and boating information can be obtained by applying in person between March 15 and October 15 at one of 6 New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) offices. The closest one to Roxbury is: Rte. 30, Downsville NY 13755, (607) 363-7009 or 7010. For more information:
