28: Part 3 - The Hatches and Flies Series: Catskill Trout Fishing Dynasty - Legends, Rivers, Hatches, Flies, Tactics with Catskill Historian & Angler - Joe Ceballos

Come join us in this four-part 12-hour series as we delve deep into this iconic foundation of American Fly Fishing as we examine all the Catskill legends and lore, along with the iconic Catskill Rivers that laid the foundation for the modern Catch and Release American Fly Fishing movement in its most classic sense. We explore the introduction of the German brown trout to the new world and America and how this was pivotal to the transformation of the modern hatch-matching fly fisher at the turn of the 19th/20th centuries and on to today's modern tactics. My guest and I examine all the iconic books, and development of tactics, take you through the seasonal hatches of mayflies/caddis/stoneflies and fly pattern evolution of the modern American Fly patterns that the legends like Gordon, Hewitt, LaBranche, Rhead, Jennings, Art Flick, Dettes', Darbees', Caucci and Nastasi, Swisher/ Richards and so many more have done to transform the British School of Fly Fishing into the iconic American tradition.
