JWFF Meeting Notice - Sept 3rd 2015

Time: 6:30 pm

Place: Ridgewood United Methodist Church - 100 Dayton St, Ridgewood, NJ 07450
Speaker:  Erin Phelan, Assistant Executive Director, CFFCM (Catskill Fly Fishing Museum)
Subject: Beyond Bamboo - A Journey of Crafting a Fly Rod

Working at the Center has given her the ability to be at the center of the sport and she likes to say that she gets to work and play in fly-fishing. She teaches fly-fishing, fly-tying, and entomology programs at the CFFCM and for the past ten years. Erin has served on the board and been an instructor for the New York State Brotherhood of the Jungle Cock (NYS BOJC) for the past five years and now teaches an after school program in fly fishing at the Livingston Manor School District.
Erin has spent the last 25 years intimately involved in the sport. Her initial involvement in fly-fishing led to a passion and love for it, something that even surprised her! Erin began fishing as a teenager with her now husband, Jeff. Early on, she fished to spend time with Jeff and did not expect for it to become a passion or vocation. Together, they have raised two daughters in the sport, now both championship distance casters, and as a family have enjoyed fishing all over New York, in Alaska and Colorado. As with all life’s passions, Erin is now moving from the world of collector to builder, taking the Bamboo Rod School at the CFFCM and completed her second bamboo rod.
