About
Our Walk and Wade fly fishing is based out of Roscoe, New York - "Trout Town USA"! We fish a variety of water including the Willowemoc, Beaverkill, East & West Branches of the Delaware, the Neversink, Esopus Creek, and various small mountain brook trout streams. Our region offers everything from spot and stalk dry fly fishing, to nymph fishing pocket water, and onto fishing the banks with streamers. We have guides that specialize in all aspects of fly fishing our Catskill rivers, as well as casting and general instruction.
New to fly fishing? Experienced angler? We have something for everyone and we’re happy to work with you! The Catskill Mountain region is famed for being the birthplace of American Fly Fishing! The area offers excellent dry fly fishing, showcasing all of the major mayfly and caddis hatches. In between hatches, we may fish nymphs or streamers and chase brown, rainbow, and brook trout wherever they may be hiding! Our trips are catered to your skill level and all trips for new anglers will begin with an hour of basic instruction. Our goal is to have fun, educate, and help you gain the knowledge you need to be confident and successful on the river! Whether you want to work on your fly presentation, learn to read water, or you’re looking to escape the rush of everyday life for some time on the water, we are here to make your time with us fun and enjoyable.
Be sure to let us know what you are looking to get out of your time with us and let us plan your trip of a lifetime! Our guides know the rivers well and can accommodate any skill level, physical ability, and navigate any river conditions to provide the best experience in the Catskills!

At Covert Creek Outfitting, we do things a little differently... We create adventure. We are your premier Catskill Mountain Fly Fishing & Wingshooting Outfitter. We have fun and relax, but we guarantee that we fish and hunt harder than the rest! We're traditional, with a twist! Come and see what makes us different...you won't be disappointed.
We bring like-minded people together through our passion for the sporting lifestyle. 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. Joe Heusinger, owner and outfitter of Covert Creek Outfitting, LLC, has been fly fishing and upland bird hunting for over 20 years! Going into his 8th season of guiding, he still maintains the mindset that what we do is about the experience. Fly fishing and grouse hunting the Catskills is not always easy, and that's the very reason we do it! Joe and his team welcome you to a region they hold close to the heart and look forward to being your premier fly fishing and wingshooting outfitter in New York's Catskill Mountain region!
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!
Located 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. 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!
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions! We look forward to creating your Catskill Mountain Adventure!
