The Catskills are covered with beautiful pieces of land and huge bodies of water. In the Catskill’s fresh water lakes, rivers and streams, local beauties such as bass, trout, pike and pickerel roam the rapid waters. Many animals live in the Catskill mountains such as bobcats, black bears, red foxes and so many more. The Catskills are also home to Trout Town USA, a famous trout resort in Roscoe New York. Famous fishermen like Theodore Gordon, the inventor of the Quill Gordon, and Joan Wulff, “the first lady of fly fishing”, came to the Beaverkill to fish! It is an area worth protecting. Mountainkeeper is an organization that works to protect the natural land in the Catskills.
