Last weekend Kim and I were traveling through the Catskills and stopped at a Fly Fishing Fair.
This is the information Kim read in the Catskill Shopper, Lazy Days of Summer magazine.
FISHING PROGRAM Catskill Fly Fishing Museum and Center 1031 Old Route 17, Livingston Manor, NY 12758845-439-4810 August 2 and 3. 8:00am – 4:00pm. Summer fest & Anglers Market - the pavilion and field is loaded with everything a fisherman could ever want. Hardy Cup competition is on the bunk house field. Saturday evening all are welcome to the pig roast provided by Hardy. In case you come up with a non-fisherman for the weekend, they will enjoy the local crafts and art provided by the Canvas Art Show. Truly a weekend with something for everyone.
As we browsed the new and used fly fishing equipment. I realized how much interest we both have in antique fishing equipment. I do collect a small amount of fishing lures and fly reels. But what was unique were the beautiful artistic flies these collectors had from past years. Flies and Fly tying materials and clothing were also on sale. Next year we will be more prepared to spend mega bucks at this event. It was a good day to be in the mountains drenched in thoughts of fly fishing history.
Take some time to visit the Museum Online. http://www.catskillflyfishing.org
