Fishing near Callicoon, NY

Callicoon sits in Sullivan County along the main stem of the Delaware River, one of the most celebrated wild-trout fisheries in the eastern United States. The river's fertile riffles and deep pools — called eddies by locals — hold both wild rainbow trout descended from a legendary 19th-century accidental stocking and a strong smallmouth bass population. Callicoon Creek and its North Branch add close-to-town options for trout in a classic Catskill stream setting.
