Would of been cool to have got to meet the cat..........unfortunately, he died in 1914. At least we did get to know several people who spent their lives knowing several people who did know T.G. We were so fortunate to start, and spend the first 20 years of our fly fishing lives, in the Catskills. And to be members of the board of directors of the Theodore Gordon Flyfishers and on the Conservation Committee for 15 years. And to be able to go on a lot of fun fishing trips with the club and visit the Anglers Club in lower Manhattan a few times at TGF Dinners, was terriffic. That place is amazing. We saw flies actually tyed by T.G. there, amoung so many other things. But most of all.....it is to have fished all the same rivers he did, the Neversink......the Beaverkill.....the Willowemoc.....the Esophus.....the Callicoon.....the East and West Branches of the Delaware and the Delaware.........sacred waters. If you've never been there.....GO! Go at least once before you die...........you must make your pilgrimage to the home of American dry fly fishing. Wet flies were already being fished on the Battenkill in Vermont and on the Broadhead in Pennsylvainia (on the legendary Henryville water), before fly fishing came to the Catskills.....but "Dry Fly" fishing.........it ALL started in the Catskills........so, if you wanna make it into heaven............nuff said? P.S. don't forget to visit the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum when your there............our first home in the Catskills, was an apartment on top of the gift shop there, for 17 and a half months......great times.....great memories. GO!
