About this listen
The Catskills are considered to be the birthplace of fly fishing in the US. Here, fishing can be an occupation, a lifeline, or a hobby. Anglers (and fish too!) are important stakeholders in the watershed—NYC's control over the water in Esopus Creek and other rivers, and the fishing community's needs for clear, cold water are deeply intertwined. This episode features angler and fishing guide Todd Spire. (Episode recorded in 2021)
If you're taking this tour in person, please play this episode at the bridge over Esopus Creek at the Ashokan Rail Trail, Boiceville Bridge, less than a 1/2 mile from the parking lot. The trail has a hard-packed surface and is wheelchair accessible. Please visit walkingthewatershed.com/podcasttour/listen.html to download a printed map, transcripts, accessibility info, and other important information.
