![]() Anglers planning on fishing the unique area will have to hike over rough terrain into the gorge to find the river however, after making the trek it is often rewarded with solitude and potentially good fishing. When fishing in the Neversink River Unique Area, be aware that this section of river is remote and lacks road access and cell phone service. These access opportunities are available through NYSDEC Forest Preserve lands, County and Municipal lands, and private property via Public Fishing Rights (PFR). Unlike the headwaters, the lower Neversink River has abundant public access. Access Downstream of Neversink Reservoir (lower Neversink River) Access is limited to NYSDEC Forest Preserve lands along Frost Valley Road, Denning Road, and Claryville Road. The Upper Neversink River is divided into two branches: the East and West Branch of the Neversink. Access Access Upstream of Neversink Reservoir (upper Neversink River) Both the upper and lower sections of the Neversink River have populations of wild trout. This cold water provides ideal conditions that allow trout to thrive. The Neversink Reservoir also provides the lower Neversink River with cold water year-round because the dam is a bottom release. The Neversink Reservoir that divides the upper and lower Neversink River is part of the NYC DEP Delaware Water Supply System and is used to supply drinking water for New York City. It consists of two parts: the headwaters upstream of the Neversink Reservoir (upper Neversink) and the lower section downstream of the reservoir (lower Neversink). ![]() The Neversink River is a popular, historic Catskill trout fishery that many recognize as one of the streams that birthed American fly fishing.
