The Birthplace
Fly fishing was born here.
The Catskill Mountains of New York are where American fly fishing began. The Beaverkill, the Willowemoc, the Delaware — these rivers shaped everything. Theodore Gordon first cast a dry fly here in the 1880s. The Catskill style of fly tying became the foundation of the sport.
The dry fly was born on Catskill water, and it remains the truest test of a fly angler's skill.— Theodore Gordon, Father of American Dry Fly Fishing
