Bill Skilton & The Pennsylvania Fly Fishing Museum

Bill Skilton grew up in Pennsylvania's Cumberland Valley surrounded by spring creeks and inquisitive anglers. Rob first met Bill in 2000 at the Fly Fishing Show at the University of Maryland and they finally had a chance to sit down together to discuss Bill's life in fishing. Rob considers Bill his fly tying mentor and they have maintained a relationship for over two decades. This episode is recorded at The Pennsylvania Fly Fishing Museum Association. Bill tells stories from his childhood in the shadows of legendary anglers that are now featured in the museum. You will hear about these legends, the flies they created, the methods they used, and the creativity involved in solving may riddles in the world of fly fishing for trout. Flies like beetles, ants, hoppers, and wooly buggers were all invented on these historic waters. Bill will convince you that you do not want to raise jungle cock birds.
