The Beaverkill, the Willowemoc, the Neversink, the Delaware, the Esopus, the Schohariethese hallowed trout streams have been hailed for generations as the birthplace of American fly fishing. Here is their story. Painstakingly researched and beautifully told, Catskill Rivers will likely remain the definitive study of these fabled waters and the remarkable people who created the American flyfishing tradition.There is an unforgettable look at the early river industriesrafting, sawmills,tanneries, woodacid factoriesand at the early days on these classic trout waters, where George LaBranche, in Sparse Grey Hackles words, adapted the dry fly to fast water and started an angling revolution. Here are the great anglers, fly tyers, rod makers, entomologists, and publicistsUncle Thad Norris, Seth Green, Theodore Gordon, Herman Christian, Roy Steenrod, Rube Cross, Hiram Leonard, Ed Payne, Louis Rhead, Edward R. Hewitt, Sparse Grey Hackle,Preston Jennings, Art Flick, Harry Darbee, Walt Dette, and a host of others. There are revealing discussions of the sociological forces that led Americans into fly fishing; the origins and customs of private stream clubs; the rivalries between owners and poachers; the controversies over imported German brown trout; the cult of dryfly purists; the evolution of hatchery practices, stream improvements, and fisheries regulation; as well as the future prospects for these lovely waters. There are also penetrating historical and physical profiles of the six principal Catskill rivers, their insect life, trout distributions, stocking practices, access, angling pressures, fishing conditions, and successful angling techniques.Catskill Rivers is a poignant journey through the annals of American angling, from its origins to the present, laced with anecdotes and stories, graced with over one hundred ten photographs and nine beautifully illustrated river maps by John Manikowski. It is a book all fishermen will treasure.
