At The Charmed Circle, we believe that fly fishing is not just a hobby; it’s a way of life – a deeply ingrained passion that can lead us to discover the wonders of nature and forge unforgettable connections with our surroundings. It was through this very passion that my journey into fly fishing began.

As an avid angler, I found solace and tranquility in the art of fly fishing. The rhythmic casting, the delicate presentation of a perfectly tied fly, and the thrill of a fish rising to take the offering – it all captivated me from the very start some 20 years ago. This love affair has taken me all over North America, chasing the one that got away, but it’s the rivers and streams that make up the Charmed Circle that stole my heart.

Nestled within the majestic Catskill Mountains, the Charmed Circle boasts an unrivaled fly fishing experience. Its legendary rivers, the Beaverkill and Willowemoc to name a few, hold an allure that cannot be easily put into words. The abundance of trout, the picturesque scenery, and the rich history of fly fishing in the area all contribute to the magic that envelops this fishery.

With each cast, I became more enamored with the waters of the Charmed Circle, and the desire to share this incredible fishery with others grew within me. I wanted to create a platform where fellow anglers, whether seasoned veterans or those just starting their fly fishing journey, could come together to learn, be inspired, and find valuable resources to enhance their experiences in this special place.
