Flyfisher's Revelations

“A Flyfisher’s Revelations is a lovely read, full of the honesty, honor and humility of a true gentleman angler. Van Put appreciated the beauty and mystery of Nature and never tired of the magic of his immersion in the beauty of a Catskill trout stream… There are lessons to be learned here for each and every angler… They are offered gently, with the kindness and grace of a gentleman … a quiet, friendly talk with a mentor, one willing to share his passion without any overbearing airs.” –Mark Sturtevant, Bright Waters Catskill

ED VAN PUT has been an avid fly-fisherman for more than fifty years. He worked as a fisheries professional with New York State for most of those years and wrote several important books on fly-fishing and its history and development in the Catskills: The Beaverkill, Trout Fishing in the Catskills, and The Remarkable Life of James Beecher. His articles have appeared in The Conservationist, Trout, Fly Fisherman, Fly Rod & Reel, Kaatskill Life, and elsewhere. He lives in the Catskills with his wife, Judy.
