Modern-day fishing tackle has long been influenced by the makers of the past, much of it dating back to the 1800s. Don’t miss this custom collection of rods, reels, flies, photographs and books making its debut at Monee Reservoir, on loan from the American Museum of Fly Fishing. The exhibit highlights influential anglers, all of whom exhibited at the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893.
The American Museum of Fly Fishing, headquartered in Manchester, Vermont, serves as a repository for and conservator of the world’s largest fly-fishing collection. The exhibition is brought to the Forest Preserve through funding provided by The Nature Foundation of Will County.
