Beaverkill history presentation by Judy van Put

I've been a member of the Catskill Fly Tyers Guild, a group of people that embraces the heritage of the Catskill fly tying, for some time now. The get togethers being in the Catskills, usually at the Catskill museum, it's tough that I'm not able to enjoy the company of so many amazing tiers and their stories.

Fortunately we also have Zoom meetings in the winter, but the 7 PM meetings local is 1 AM here! The ocassional times I join the nocturnal meeting, it has been very enjoyable.

This past weekend was the Fly Tyers Roundtable at the Catskills Fly Fishing Center and Museum. Thanks to fellow member Phil, the audio of the presentation given by Ed van Put's wife, Judy, about the history & importance of the Beaverkill river was recorded. With approval by Ed & Judy I can publish this great presentation!

Update Dec 19, 2024:

With the recent passing of Ed, it's really nice able to see Ed during the presentation.

Back to the Kyll again

Went to the river Kyll again. My buddy Nico needed to renew his German fishing license too so we packed our stuff and headed to Germany again. Now a few weeks later the weather has cooled down considerably.
