TIDEWATER CATSKILL CREEK MAP BOOK (DISCONTINUED)

This creation of the River Basin Sport Shop has undergone a rather dramatic revision during the past 7 years. Now the maps are colorized... and we decided to laminate them, making them waterproof. This revised edition (2005) is NOW AVAILABLE for sale. The cost at the shop is $19.95 (plus tax), by mail add $7.50 to cover tax and shipping.

The “GUIDE TO THE TIDEWATER CATSKILL CREEK” consists of 18 pages of charts detailing the main fishing structures in this waterway. These charts contain depths, bottom contours, hazards, weed bed locations, bottom composition and some landmarks. We have also added a small descriptive to most of the pages for more information.

Since we are constantly trying to update the information on some section or other on these creek maps, and are reluctant to put out a non-updated copy, this creation is often not available.
NOTE - since the catastrophic flooding caused by Hurricane Irene in the fall of 2011 much of the Catskill Creek's bottom structure has been dramatically altered and we really do not have the time to properly update this data. For that reason we are no longer offering the "Guide to the Catskill Creek" map book.

2012 TIDE BOOK

This is an in-house production listing the April 8th thru November 30th tide times for 4 different locations on the tidal Hudson - Albany, Catskill, Saugerties and Kingston. A reference guide to determine tides for other locations is also given; also included is a sunrise/sunset time chart extending thru November. It's a convenient item to have on hand when planning a river excursion. Cost at the shop is $4.00(+ tax); shipping is extra.

LOCAL FISH IDENTIFICATION BOOK
Tired of trying to identify species of fish from descriptions such as “large and greenish,” we decided that there had to be a better way. So, a few years ago we started producing a booklet called the "FISH IDENTIFICATION GUIDE FOR CATSKILL, N.Y., GREENE COUNTY, AND IMMEDIATE VICINITY.” This works out real well. Included therein are full color illustrations for more than 60 different species of fish that can be captured locally; also included for each specie are descriptions, locations and fishing suggestions. 12 pages, each page hard laminated so as to be waterproof - $19.95 at the shop plus $1.60 tax; add $7.50 if you want it mailed out.
