New Exhibit @ The American Museum of Flyfishing in Manchester, VT

Touted as one of the most respected and influential outdoor artist of all time, Ogden Pleissner was recently honored by the American Museum of Fly Fishing. Pleissner was most famous for capturing scenes of Wyoming's Wind River Range, Atlantic salmon fishing scenes, and the trout streams of the New England.

Beaverkill Bridge: Watercolor on paper, ca. 1952. The reverse of this work is inscribed, "Scene near Rockland, Sullivan County, NY." The Beaverkill, flows 44 miles through the Catskill mountains before meeting the Delaware River near East Branch, NY, is one of the most hallowed and historic fly fishing streams in the east.
