The Catskill Chronicle

Season Opener, April 11 in Livingston Manor

LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY (March 30, 2014) – The Catskill Fly Fishing Center will celebrate another Trout Season Opener with an official cast by “Kids Only,” hosted by the Lake and Gillngham kids, and sponsored by Cortland Line Company. 

This celebratory cast will take place just upstream from the Catskill Fly Fishing Center Bridge on the Willowemoc DEC lot at 9:30 a,m. on Saturday, April 11.

Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther will be on hand to count down to the cast.    

After the official cast and group photos, everyone is welcome to meet in the gift shop and take the chill off with coffee or hot chocolate before visiting the refreshed museum and the Wulff Gallery where the Catskill Fly Tyers Guild will be holding their Annual Flytyers Rendezvous. 

Agnes Van Putt will be doling out her famous soups (come early as she always to run out) and the Center will be bustling with fishing business. 

At 11:00 a.m. kids are invited to decorate their own trout cookies. Make sure we get some photos before they mysteriously vanish.

If you are a flyfisherman and will not be fishing that day, bring a rod and cast away the winter cobwebs at  Bamboo MIKE’S casting session in the Roscoe High School Gym at 11:00 a.m.
