Joe is an amazing guide, and he’s super fun to hang out with. He is a wonderful teacher that had my son catching trout on a fly after only one hour of practice and instruction. The memories Joe helped us make will last forever and are well worth the money. Thanks for a great time Covert Creek.

This really was a five star experience, Joe was terrific. Exactly, exactly what I was looking for, knowledgeable and passionate, but also flexible and easy-going. He was very communicative throughout the planning of our trip. I give him my strongest possible recommendation.

Fantastic time fly fishing for a full day. My wife and I were first timer fly fishes and Joe kept it informative and balanced for fun. He showed us some great spots which were quiet and we had a great time. Even if we caught nothing, it would have been a blast: as luck would have it, we managed to bag 3 fish between us. Can't wait to do it again!

Great experience! Goal was to learn, develop my craft, and potential get on fish, it was just that. Joe is a great teacher and guide that helped me gain knowledge to how to better myself as a fly fisherman. I recommend to anywho wants to either up their game or just a awesome experience on the water.

Had an awesome day out with Joe! Joe is extremely knowledgeable and great to be with - he went above and beyond to give the angler the best shot at bringing in a fish and his local knowledge was exceptional. He accommodated our group well when one of the anglers had trouble wading in the water due to some medical limitations. Couldn't recommend Joe and his team more - will definitely be fishing with him in the future!! Leland Kutay Kutay Ultra Luxury Travel (@jointhe_KULT)

Rising rivers and continued rain. But Joe found a way, and my wife and I caught fish. That will always be a 5 star review.

Joe is a terrific fishing guide. I’ve been with him several times and have always had fun and caught fish. He’s very knowledgeable of the local waters and is just good company. Highly recommend!

While the trout were uncooperative (imagine that!?!) our guide, Jeff, was knowledgeable, and very patient with my son and me as we are complete newbies to fly-fishing. He was also good company! We learned a lot, had some laughs, and really enjoyed the experience. I look forward to future outings with Covert Creek.

Joe was a terrific guide - extremely knowledgeable, patient, engaging, and persistent. We had a great full day on the water, and I feel like I improved greatly as a relatively novice fly fisherman. Look forward to going out again soon!

I had an amazing day fly fishing in the Catskills with my 10-year-old son, all thanks to Covert Creek’s incredible guide, Josh. From the moment we met, Josh was patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing his love for fly fishing. He worked closely with my son, taking the time to teach him the fundamentals of fly casting in a way that was fun and easy to understand. Watching my son gain confidence with each cast was a joy in itself. Not only did we both learn a lot, but we also caught plenty of beautiful rainbow trout in the process! The scenery was stunning, the water was clear, and the entire experience was something we'll never forget. Josh’s expertise and genuine enthusiasm made the day special for both of us. If you're looking for a memorable fly fishing trip with a fantastic guide, I can't recommend Covert Creek Guides enough!

Joe was so knowledgeable and great instructor for two different levels. Will book again.

Josh was amazing, very friendly and kind, and showed us multiple techniques before bringing the two of us to a river to fish. It was a great introduction to the hobby and otherwise just a fun day beautiful weather out about fishing. Josh had lots of experience as well as able to share core theory about how fish think, why certain techniques work, etc.

Had a great time with Joe! We were able to get my young GSP out on some grouse and woodcock for her very first season. Joe is very knowledgable about the birds, and the environment that they live in. I highly recommend his guided bird hunt and I will definitely be going back next year. Lunch was a plus also after all the walking we did! FYI, be ready to be quick on the trigger!!!

Jeff Smith was great. Moved lots of birds. Should have a second dog but he knows that. I’ll be back next year.

This was my second year with covert Creek and definitely not my last I had the pleasure of hunting with Joe and his awesome dog Rhett , both his dogs Rhett and cash are some of the best dogs I ever hunted over ! Joe really knows his stuff and is a pleasure to hunt with . I recommend covert Creek to everyone already looking forward to next year's hunts !

Great morning with out on the water with Paul. Would highly recommend. Looking forward to our next trip

Our guide Jeff, was great. Very knowledgeable, and super helpful getting two novices out for an excellent half day of fly fishing.

We had a great time. Are completely new to fly fishing and we had a wonderful experience

Fantastic experience all around, from booking to the actual outing. I booked a morning flyfishing session with Covert during a family vacation to the Catskills. Joe was flexible on the timing leading up to booking as we watched weather and currents. Joe came prepared and ready and arrived early at the agreed meeting location - we fished up and down the river nearby (the Esopus). Would 100% book with Covert again and I’m excited to bring a few friends out next time to fish and also arrange a bird hunt.

Covert Creek Fly Fishing delivered an unforgettable experience! Joe, our guide, was knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about the sport. We had a blast, caught some amazing fish, and learned a ton. Highly recommend!

We had a great day on the river with Covert Creek! Joe is an absolute pro and great teacher. He was extremely thorough and supportive as we were all new to fly fishing. However, all in our party agreed that we walked away with a ton of knowledge about the sport. I highly recommend Covert Creek to fly fisherman of all skill levels.

I had a great day fishing with Joe on some amazing Catskill water. Joe knows where to go and how to get away from the crowds if you are looking for that. He was professional, knowledgeable, instructional and informative. I would definitely fish with Joe again.

My day fishing with Covert Creek was outstanding. They offer an exceptional experience chasing both stocked and wild trout on the famous waters of the Catskills. My guide was professional, attentive, offered excellent advice and instruction while also making the day a fun and easygoing escape. I would definitely fish with Covert Creek again!

Truly an amazing experience! Jeff is an amazing guide and we are already planning for our next visit!! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!
