The Willowemoc has a rich fly-fishing history. Author George M. L. LaBranche cast his first dry fly on the creek at
its confluence with Mongaup Creek. Theodore Gordon (of Quill Gordon fame), well-known Catskill fly tier Rube Cross, and authors Alfred W. Miller (aka Sparse Grey Hackle), Ed Van Put, and Edward R. Hewitt all frequented the Willow. The Dette, Darbee, and Kuttner fly shops overlooked the creek. It is home to the Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum, which is located along the catch-and-release section. There are two covered bridges over the stream: Vantran Covered Bridge in Livingston Manor and Willowemoc Covered Bridge in Willowemoc, both built in 1860.
