October Cast & Blast - Trout and Ruffed Grouse

At Covert Creek Outfitting, we bring like-minded people together through our passion for all things field & fly. 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 the 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!
