A rich and revealing journey into the overlooked legacy of fly fishing in New York’s wild mountain country.
In The Greats of Adirondack Fly Fishing, Robert W. Streeter casts light on a lesser-known yet deeply influential chapter of American angling history. While the Catskills often take center stage, Streeter traces the origins and evolution of fly fishing in the Adirondacks—from Colonial days to modern times—through the lives and lore of the anglers who defined the region’s fly fishing heritage. Combining personal interviews, historical research, and vivid storytelling, this book brings forgotten figures and classic Adirondack fly patterns back into the spotlight.
