2025 Annual Dinner & Catskill Legends Awards
Honoring the 2025 Catskill Legends:
Judy Van Put, Rick Miller and Martha Mason
Established in 2014, the Catskill Legends program by the CFFCM celebrates individuals whose knowledge and dedication have helped preserve and share the rich fly fishing heritage of the Catskills. These honorees carry forward a legacy that began generations ago, when anglers first cast their lines in the region’s storied waters. Through their passion and commitment, they have upheld the spirit of the Catskills, safeguarding it as a renowned destination for fishing enthusiasts. These Legends are trailblazers—anglers, conservationists, authors, and historians—who have explored the beauty of the Catskill rivers and streams and generously passed on their experiences. Their contributions form the foundation upon which future generations will build their own connections to this cherished landscape.
