legends like Theodore Gordon, Lee Wulff, and Art Flick,
our waters have historical importance as the “Cradle of
American Fly Fishing.” For over 50 years, Trout Unlimited
(TU) has played a leading role in protecting waters like
these — the trout and salmon fisheries that are among
America’s great national treasures.
In celebration of TU’s 50-year anniversary, the Ashokan-
Pepacton Watershed Chapter, located in the Catskill
Mountains, has created the “Leaping Trout Art Project.”
This volunteer, community-based initiative is raising
awareness of the critical importance of water quality in
the Catskill Watershed, the major source of water for
New York City.
