The Fly Fishing Hall of Fame, located in Livingston Manor, New York, proudly reveals its 2023 class of inductees, consisting of five distinguished anglers. This year’s honorees are John Atherton, Arnold Gingrich, Will Godfrey, Frank Mele, and Samuel Phillippe & Son. Each of these individuals has left an indelible mark on the world of fly fishing, whether through their craftsmanship in bamboo fly rod construction or their artistic expressions that beautifully capture the essence of angling.
