Treasurer
Randy Lewis was born and raised in Toronto with his formative years in fly fishing taking place on the tributaries of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron. The headwaters of the Beaver, Bighead, and Rocky Saugeen rivers and their beautiful brook trout were what captured his heart at a young age and perpetuated his passion for fly fishing for trout. It was Mac Francis’ book Catskill Rivers – Birthplace of American Fly Fishing that drew Randy to the Catskills after moving to New York City in 1990. In his non fishing hours, Randy is the founder & head of a global ingredient trading company and is also a founder of the Catskill Brewery. He lives full time with his family in Lew Beach, NY.
