Roscoe, NY to host celebrities for the opening of the 2011 Trout Fishing Season.
The Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum has lured Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo to Saturday's First Cast event as well as jazz pianist and Grammy winner Laurence Hobgood.
The two will make the ceremonial first casts of the year at the famous Junction Pool.
The Beaverkill and Willowemoc are two of the country's most storied and historic trout streams, making the Junction Pool the logical choice for official site of opening day ceremonies.
April 1 is NY opening day, but the museum has arranged its festivities for Saturday when most anglers can be afield.
A full event schedule is planned for Saturday. Ted Patlen will tie flies in the Museum alongside noted Pennsylvania wet fly expert Don Bastian. Don will also be displaying his collection of Bergman wet flies for the last time.
At 6 p.m. the annual Roscoe Chamber of Commerce Two Headed Trout Dinner will take place at the Rockland House.
