Catskills Fly Fishing History

  1. Unveiling a Timeless Tradition
    Dive into the rich history and enduring passion for fly fishing in the Catskills, the hallowed grounds where dry fly fishing took root in the United States. Tracing back to the late 1800s, this sport evolved from English traditions into a uniquely American art form, shaped by pioneers like Theodore Gordon, Rube Cross, and Lee Wulff, whose innovations forever changed the game.
  2. Voices of the Catskills
    Hear firsthand from devoted anglers and experts like John Abgar, vice president of the Catskill Fly Tying Guild, and Ed Walsh, docent for the Catskill Fly Fishing Center Museum, as they share their personal connections to the region. Their stories weave together the evolution of fly patterns, tying techniques, and the deep cultural significance of this sport in the Catskills.
  3. From Dirt Roads to Legendary Waters
    Join Dave Kazon and Tom Mason as they reminisce about the transformative impact of paved roads and automobiles, which opened the Catskills to generations of anglers. Meanwhile, Seth Cavaretta, a rising star at Dette Flies, reflects on his journey into fly tying, and the late Paul Jorgensen’s legacy is celebrated for his unmatched expertise and influence.
