The creek&#8217;s ideal geological environment for trout, formed millions of years ago and perfected by the last ice age, has made it a popular destination for anglers. The introduction of American dry fly fishing in the early 1900s further established the creek as a top-rated fishery in the Northeast. In addition to exploring the creek&#8217;s fishing history, The Mighty Esopus also discusses the construction of the nation&#8217;s largest all-natural reservoir system, which supplies New York City with 40% of its water, and the efforts of local anglers to conserve not only their home waters, but nearly every river of the Catskills. Presented by Esopus Creel founder&nbsp;Todd&nbsp;Spire, the stories of the Esopus are woven together to create a snapshot of how geology, history, conservation, and a profound love of rivers have helped maintain a vibrant fishery in the face of countless obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you cannot make in person, you may also attend online:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Webex Link: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/catskillmountainstu.my.webex.com\/catskillmountainstu.my\/j.php?MTID=me7a8308bdd7aab5315aa91e05c3db2fb\">https:\/\/catskillmountainstu.my.webex.com\/catskillmountainstu.my\/j.php?MTID=me7a8308bdd7aab5315aa91e05c3db2fb<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>When: <\/strong>Wednesday, Jan 18, 2023 6:30 pm | 2 hours | (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada)<br><strong>Meeting number:<\/strong> 2633 746 7750<br><strong>Password<\/strong>: wildesopus <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Join by phone<\/strong><br>+1-650-479-3208 United States Toll<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Access code<\/strong>: 263 374 67750<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday, January 18thCourtyard Marriott Kingston6:30-8:30PM (Online option below) This month&#8217;s featured speaker will be..
