    I am newer to fly fishing and had just come across this wonderful documentary. I recently have joined the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum and The Catskill Mountain Chapter of Trout Unlimited and have read many great things about Bert Darrow. I wish I had the opportunity to have known and fished with this special man. May he always be remembered and Rest Peacefully in Heaven where there are streams with an abundance of trout to wet his line.

    The Catskill/Gordon dry flies just *look* elegant, I enjoy tying them for that reason. 👍🏻
