Beaverkill is not as technical. Many of the fish are stocked and it is easier to wade. The west branch is more difficult, but it can be floated with a guide. For me a good day on the east branch, west branch, or main stem is 3 or 4 fish, but they are bigger than beaverkill fish.

I have stayed in both Roscoe and on the west branch during late may. On the west branch you sometimes get access to nice water along with lodging. Lately, I have been staying in roscoe and fishing the beaverkill. When time on the water is limited, ya just want to catch a few.

That said, the beaverkill seems to heat up earlier and earlier each year. When the water warms, hit the tailgaters.
