I was here several years ago now but the experience has never left me. The history, the sacred fishing knowledge, education of fly fishing is all laid out in front of you to discover! Take in scenery, do some fishing on the historic streams in the area, then hit this museum for the whole fly fishing history. You won’t be disappointed and it will be the experience of a lifetime!

What a beautiful part of the world! This is an amazing place to visit from the museum to the Fly Fishing Hall of Fame. It is a must see and the people there are top notch!! Worth the flight and drive. I visited there all the way from Colorado! 100% worth it!

Such a gorgeous place. The bridge may not be highly functional but wow is it beautiful. Quiet, sxenic and full to the brim with exhibits. The staff was friendly and informative. I would go just for the serenity of the atmosphere but they do offer demonstrations and teaching opportunities. I went for an event and I'm very glad I did.

Awesome find. The displays and artifacts are remarkable. They tell the story of fly fishing in the Catskills vividly. The staff are friendly and have great advice on local rivers and fish. They also have a small gift shop with great ideas for the angler in your world. :)The museum is small but has so many great things to see. Pull off the highway and go in. It’s totally worth it.

Interesting bit of fly fishing history in the small museum and gift shop. It's free and you have the opportunity to get a line wet on the nearby Willowemoc stream and maybe catch & release a few trout. No eating facilities but there are nice grounds for picnicking and for club affairs.

This is a must-see for anyone interested in fly fishing. Staff are knowledgeable and so friendly. While fishing is not my cup of tea, I was impressed with the quality and care given to museum. Upon entry the wooden bridge may look imposing but rest assured, it is well built.

This place is beautiful! Cross a narrow bridge over the Willowemoc Creek and you arrive at this peaceful estate dedicated to fly fishing. The grounds were nicely kept, including some recently carved nature trails through the woods along the bank of the Willowemoc. There is a pond onsite fed by the Willowemoc that looks like it has all sorts of fish in it.. The staff are friendly and the museum pays homage to the history of fly fishing and its roots right here in the Catskills. There is a gift shop that serves as the entry to the museum and seperately a workshop where they occasionally host sessions on making bamboo fly rods. I'd love to see them do workshops on fly tying too. And was able to fish the pond and the Willowemoc right there on the museum grounds! Work the visit and I'll certainly be back to explore more.

The CFFC&M is a must see if you are visiting anywhere in the western Catskills. It is a storied repository of a great deal of memories and gear of many of the greats of the sport and art of Fly Fishing. In addition to the museum, The Center runs a number of programs during the year for kids and adults alike. Highly recommended.

I was pleasantly surprised given that I had no prior interest. Only went because my husband wanted to go. The rod building shop and making of flies was very informative.

Nice collection of memorabilia and great information. I especially like the wall with the Hall of Fame inductees and the Joan Wulff exhibit.
