The Mighty Esopus

Todd Spire, founder of Esopus Creel, presents, "The Mighty Esopus: History - Beauty - Angling." The talk offers an overview of the Esopus Creek, located in the eastern high peaks region of the Catskill Mountains. Topics include the unique geology of the area, outdoor recreation and its origins in art, the NYC reservoir system, and how each of these histories have impacted angling and the wild trout populations of a river inextricably tied to the evolution of fly fishing.

Program runs about 45 minutes + Q&A.
