Penn State Flyfishing Exhibit @ Allenberry Playhouse


In the mid-1900's, Penn State became the first university to offer accredited courses in fly fishing in the United States. A highschool friend, Pat, got his mug in time magazine back in the late 80's as a PSU fly fishing student.

The program is widely acclaimed by those in the fishing community as one of the best in the nation -- indeed, Penn State is sometimes jokingly referred to as "Angler U." So, it came as no surprise to faculty that the Pennsylvania Fly Fishing Museum Association chose to dedicate its latest exhibit to the program that has fronted the field for more than six decades.

Entitled Not Just Another Fish Story, the exhibit is open to the public at the Allenberry Resort Inn and Playhouse in Boiling Springs, Pa. The exhibit provides a look back at the lore and legend of the Penn State fly fishing curriculum while honoring four past and present course instructors.
