Video Summary

This video delves into the storied history and enduring passion for fly fishing in the Catskills, widely regarded as the birthplace of American dry fly fishing. Tracing its roots to the late 1800s, the sport evolved from English traditions into a distinctly American art form. Pioneers like Theodore Gordon, Rube Cross, and Lee Wulff played pivotal roles in shaping fly fishing techniques and styles in the region.

The video features insights from fly fishing experts and enthusiasts, including John Abgar (Vice President of the Catskill Fly Tying Guild) and Ed Walsh (Docent at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center Museum). They share personal stories, experiences, and the unique allure of Catskills fly fishing. Their narratives highlight the evolution of fly patterns, tying techniques, and the sport’s cultural significance in the area.

Participants like Dave Kazon and Tom Mason reflect on how infrastructure developments—such as paved roads and automobiles—transformed access to the Catskills. Seth Cavaretta, a newer member of the Dette Flies team, shares his journey into fly fishing and tying, while the late Paul Jorgensen is honored for his lasting influence on fly tying.
