Beaverkill Angler

Beaverkill Angler, a full-service fly shop on the banks of the Beaverkill in Roscoe, New York, has served Catskill-area anglers since 1979. The shop offers guided wade trips on the Beaverkill, Willowemoc, Delaware River, and Esopus Creek, as well as drift boat trips on the East, West, and Mainstem Delaware. Half-day and full-day options are available, with all trips including rod, reel, and line; full-day trips include a meal. The Esopus Creek, described as a smaller freestone and tailwater river, offers a high fish-per-mile ratio.

Beaverkill Angler also provides fly fishing instruction, including one-hour casting courses, a two-hour introduction to fly fishing, and four-hour guided instruction combining classroom and on-water learning. Four guides with extensive regional experience lead trips—Stefan Spoerri has over twenty-five years on the Upper Delaware system, while Irwin Mallory brings over forty years of Catskill fishing knowledge. The shop stocks rods, reels, waders, flies, and fly-tying materials from brands including Orvis, Simms, and Sage.
