I'm recently relocated to Manhattan from Buffalo, New York, where we have some pretty resepctable trout, salmon, steelhead fishing. I grew up fishing both 18 Mile Creeks (Lakes Erie and Ontario), Cattaraugus, The Niagra River, Gennessee River, and Oak Orchard Creek, as well as dozens of small trout streams throughout the Western Southern Tier of the state. I've driven trhough Roscoe, NY, and fished the Delaware once about 10 years ago, but I don't know my way around the region too much, and with job/family obligations I don't have time to explore too much.
I'm thinking about a trip to fish Beaverkill/Willowemoc around mid-October and looking for advice on where to stay, where to fish, fly selection, etc. Ideally, I'd like a small rental cabin -- someplace where I can burn a little campfire at night -- on or very, very close to the water. Obviously it has to be someplace where there are some fish too. Also, I'm not married to the idea of Beaverkill/Willowemoc either. I've read in this forum that Esopus has a Fall run that might be worth checking out.
Thanks!
