Catskill Flies and Collectibles
Welcome to the Catskill Flies and Collectibles section of Vintage Fly Tackle. Offered here are some of the most classic flies tied by the greatest fly tiers in history, notably many of the Catskill legends such as Roy Steenrod, Walt and Winnie Dette, Mary Dette, Herman Christian, Rube Cross, Harry and Elsie Darbee, Ed Hewitt, Poul Jorgensen, etc. In addition to individual flies, I have access to many framed flies from some of the same tiers mentioned. Lastly, certain items of great Catskills significance may become for sale in the near future. Please stay tuned and check back often for the really exciting items that may come up for sale from time to time.
Use the search box in the upper right part of your screen if you are looking for a particular tier.
