Catskills fly fishing and luxury accommodations at upstate New York’s The Chatwal Lodge

During your stay at the Chatwal Lodge, you’ll have the chance to explore many of the Catskills famed trout rivers and streams. Based out of Roscoe, New York – also known as “Trout Town, USA” – Covert Creek Outfitting guides on a variety of waters, including the Willowemoc, Beaverkill, East and West Branches of the Delaware, Neversink, Esopus Creek, and several small mountain brook trout streams. If you’re interested in exploring the region’s impressive upland bird habitat, you’ll find that there are miles of overgrown apple trees, aspen stands, and alder bottoms to traverse in search of ruffed grouse and woodcock. Whether you’re looking for a scenic trout fishing adventure or are itching to flush upland birds with expertly-trained bird dogs, the Catskill region is the place to be. 

Nestled along the shores of the Toronto Reservoir, The Chatwal Lodge is just a two-hour drive from New York City but feels a world away. The secluded lodge features beautiful water and woodland views, farm-to-table meals, and a rustic charm that you’ll feel from the moment you arrive. The Southern Catskills are steeped in history – from the site of the legendary 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair to the rivers and streams that shaped the formation of American fly fishing culture. During your stay at the Chatwal Lodge, you’ll have easy access to these remarkable places, as well as miles of on-property hiking, biking, and bird-watching trails if you want to stay close to home. 

After a full day of fishing or hunting, you’ll return to luxurious accommodations inspired by The Chatwal Lodge’s Catskills location. You’ll find that each guest room and suite has thoughtful touches, such as hand-carved wooden bed frames and furniture crafted from reclaimed barn beams. The lodge offers one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites, cottages, and even luxury one-bedroom treehouses. During your stay, every meal will be taken care of, starting with dinner on the day you arrive through breakfast on the day you depart. The lodge’s restaurant features a seasonal menu, regularly updated to include locally foraged and grown products. Rest assured – even when you’re not on the water or in the field, you’ll never feel far away from the heartbeat of the Catskill Mountains.
