" I know that I cannot escape this feeling on the pools away from the highway, (Beaverkill), when the twilight falls and I am alone with the river. One almost expects to round a bend and find the Ghost of Richard Robbins, and to be hailed by the old man to tie on a fly for him in the failing light of age and evening."
Ernest G. Schwiebert, JR. - [1955]
Note: Richard Robbins a legendary fly tyer and fisherman who lived on the Beaverkill was considered the "Dean of the Beaverkill" in the 20's. He died in 1937 at Roscoe, NY at the junction of the Beaverkill and the Willowemoc and is buried in the Riverview Cemetery, overlooking the famous Junction Pool.

"Being able to read trout streams is just as valuable to a fly fisherman as the ability to read a defense is to a Quarterback."
