In the Spring of 1924, a nineteen-year-old college student from Bethlehem, PA met James E. Leisenring and the young man was introduced to fly fishing. But when the student graduated college in 1927 and moved on to a career in New York, this story of an incredible fly-fishing life was just getting started.

In “An Evening with Chip Stauffer,” biographer David M. Atwood offers a visual presentation of a life that any angler could only dream of – a story that reads more like a fictional novel. Using more than 160 photos, some recent additions of which have never appeared in public before, Dave details the life of Willis K. “Chip” Stauffer, a story that includes Bill Chandler, Roy Steenrod, Herm Christian, Ed Hewitt, George Parker Holden, Preston Jennings, Art Flick, Dana Lamb, Charles DeFeo, Jack Atherton, and many others. This is the true story of triumph, tragedy and re-birth during the Golden Age of American Fly Fishing.

$20 admission- light refreshments will be served.
