On October 12, local author A.J. Campbell was inducted into the Fly Fishing Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame is located at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum in Roscoe, New York, an international organization dedicated to the history, preservation and advancement of fly fishing.
Campbell is the author of “Classic & Antique Fly Fishing Tackle,” an extensive history of the sport published in 1997. Through the years, the book went into a second printing and became a classic itself, appreciated by the world fly fishing community.
Readers and fans include anglers in Canada, Britain, Italy, and Japan. With the induction, Campbell has joined the ranks of such notables as Hiram Leonard, Theodore Gordon and Lee and Joan Wulff.
