Catskills...

What is your favorite river in the Catskills?

I think I like the Willowemoc best. the fish aren't as big as some, but it's a very pleasant stream to fish. Not too big, not too small, just right. As long as you don't go early in the season on a weekend, you can usually find a spot with no one else around.
Is it Spring yet?

I can't get myself to pick which one I like best...I love them all because they are all somewhat different. If I want big fish, I'd go to the Delaware Branches, if I want big wild rainbows I'd go to the Main Stem. The Beaverkill also has some nice fish (but you often have to like fishing with a bunch of other people, although that is a good social experience quite often). The Willowemoc is great for solitude.

I couldn't pick if I tried.

Willowemoc first and Beaverkill a close second. Just love these two streams.

RW...when you say Willow...do you mean Fir Brook included?

I,like the man that got me interested in Flyfishing,some 49 years ago,Lee Wulff, choose the Beaverkill. I love fishing all Catskill streams,but there is something special for me about this river. I now live on it's banks from May first till the middle of October. A dream come true for me........

I love the Beaverkill. There are parts that I love going to, and a certain run that I fish everytime (and it's not that popular).

The West Branch is a great river as well.

But for true beauty, I love the Unique Gorge area of the Neversink. It's a hike down (about a 10-15 minute walk, downhill towards the river, uphill back), there's little hint of civilization (i.e. Rt. 17 overhead), and the brookies are beautiful.

Mike, RW here,

Fir Brook!? Where's that? I never heard of it.

Later, RW
