Roscoe is famous for trout fishing: "When it comes to Trout Fishing, Roscoe New York is the Top Destination in the East. Our town is located in the Southwestern section of the Catskill Mountains in an area that is blessed with rugged mountains, pristine rivers, lakes and ponds. These waters are deep in history. This is where Fly Fishing luminaries such as Theodore Gordon, Rube Cross and AE Hendrickson gave American Dry Fly fishing its birth. “TROUT TOWN USA” is a haven for anglers, with 5 of America’s top trout streams in our backyard. Just west of town, the world-renowned Beaverkill River and Willowemoc Creek meet in the legendary Junction Pool, home of the famous Two Headed Trout."
