Welcome to Trout-Whispers

Fish-Camp is my time with friends and guest.  Where lessons are learned, laughter a must. Tears of pain when the big one comes off.  And the tales get bigger each year!

Reports,

1/18/22:  With mixed emotions I am retiring Trout-Whispers.com.  This website was a joy to me and I hope for you. I hope you found it a useful tool in the world of fly-fishing. Owning the Fly-Shop Trout Town Flies in Roscoe N.Y. I am putting more energy into the Website TroutTownFlies.com.  I feel bad not spending the time in the Hudson Valley giving you fishing reports both Hudson Valley and Connecticut but my journey has taken me to the Catskill's. To follow me now go to TroutTownFlies.com. where you will still get accurate reports of the Catskill rivers.  I thank you for many years of following Trout-Whispers.com my first website and I hope you continue following me through TroutTownFlies.com, where you will still get a honest report of the rivers I fish. When in Roscoe come visit me during the season and say hello.

Thank you,  Joe Rist- NYS guide and Shop owner of Trout Town Flies.
Exciting news!  I now own Trout Town Flies, LLC "formerly Catskill Flies" in Roscoe, New York, as most of you know I managed Catskill Flies last year and have been a guide there for many years.  While the name will change, our staff will return with the same philosophy and service provided in the past.  We will still tie the flies that Dennis did, as well as a few of our own. If you have any questions, please email me at flyshop@TroutTownFlies.com.  or Call the shop at 607-290-4107.  I am in the process of building a website for the store which is coming soon.

Updated Links page, now you can find daily weather reports for the destination you choose for fishing!
You Can now follow me on Instagram,       #trouttownflies
