We were Built on Tradition, right here in the Catskill Mountains.
Offering Outdoor Pursuits for the Social Sportsman; For folks just like us. Come and see what makes us different.

Located in the birthplace of American fly fishing and in a home to golden era ruffed grouse hunting, our region is full of tradition, beautiful trout streams, and upland bird habitat. We are here to teach, guide, and share our experiences with friends, new and old. Whether you are just getting started in fly fishing or the uplands, or you have years of experience, we look forward to creating your Catskill Mountain experience!

Trips are based in the Western Catskill Mountain region. We are within 2 hours of New York City and only 1 hour from many popular Hudson Valley towns! Most of our fishing trips are based out of Roscoe, New York – “Trout Town, USA” – providing fast access to many of the region’s famed blue-ribbon streams! We have something to offer anglers of all skill levels and create your trip of a lifetime! Our wingshooting and ruffed grouse hunting trips are based out of upper Delaware County and Schoharie County, and range across the Mohawk Valley region and into Central New York. We offer hunters a day in some of New York’s prime timber cuts and old orchards lined with stone walls; a true day in the New England grouse woods!

We’re proud to have over a 90% return rate!
Your calendar fills up fast, and so does ours – Don’t wait to book your trip!
