On Saturday, September 25 we will hold our annual Emerging Anglers Dinner at the Beaverkill Valley Inn to fundraise and support the Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum, and encourage the future generations of fly fishing to join in and celebrate the history of our region.

This year we will be honoring our former Vice President, Jill Joyce.

Ed Van Put together with his wife Judy Van Put will present and speak on their program Artists Who Fished the Catskills and the art found in fly-fishing. The Catskill mountains have played a dual role in American history - they not only attracted our country’s earliest and foremost trout fishermen, but also many of our first and finest artists. The presentation focuses primarily on the artists from the Hudson River School of Landscape Painters, including Thomas Cole, Asher B. Durand, Worthington Whittredge and others.
