The Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum will be conducting it's second rod building school at our facilities in Livingston Manor, NY commencing at 8:30 AM Monday, June 21 with a second class scheduled for September 6th. Thanks to trustee Dr. Stephen Cohen, who identified a need in the angling community for a museum based school for cane rod building, our first class last year was a rousing success. Noting the expanding interest in fishing cane rods was growing, CFFC&M took the initiative to build off the East Coast Cane Rod Makers Gathering held at the Center each September. This group has revived the art of cane rod building and CFFC&M will be the steward of this noble cause. Come join the Museum with master rod builders Ron Barch, Art Port , Bill Harms, and the team of Dave Van Burgel and Kathy Scott in a life time experience. The instructors will provide all materials and tools. The only requirement for students is to bring a Black & Decker model 425 Workmate bench.

Tuition for the school is $1,200.00 which includes all materials and tools, sleeping accommodations in our Education Dormitory, breakfast and lunch, and written material on the rods to be worked on. Students are encouraged to stay the weekend after the class at our facilities to fish the many Catskill rivers at our doorstep. Students will also have time to fish in the evenings and hatches are at their peak during the class weeks.

If you are interested in the program, please fill out the attached application and reserve your place with a $250.00 deposit. The balance will be due on June 7, 2004 for the early class and August 23, 2004 for the September class. If you wish to arrive the evening before, please indicate on the reservation form. For additional information, call CFFC&M at (845) 439-4810 or email: flyfish@catskill.net.
