Ultimate Fishing Town

ROSCOE — Roscoe is looking for voters to help it win the World Fishing Network (WFN) contest as the "Ultimate Fishing Town" in the United States.

The winning community will receive $25,000 to improve fishing access, as well as a cable TV episode about the town.

The final voting round ends May 31.

Already known as "Trout Town, USA," Roscoe is considered the birthplace of American dry-fly fishing, developed by Theodore Gordon and his followers. Roscoe is home to the junction of two trophy trout streams, the Willowemoc and the Beaverkill, in addition to many nearby lakes, ponds and reservoirs.

Voting is done via email by going to www.wfnfishingtown.com and following a simple procedure. Individuals are able to vote four times a day (once each in specific blocks of time) for each email address they have.
