Pennsylvania Angler & Boater - March/April 2015 - 31
George Harvey (center) heads to the stream on what would be
his last opening day of trout season in 2007.
Extension entomologist who is faculty advisor to the Penn
State Fly Fishing Club.
"They nailed it right down to his hat and vest draped
over a chair," said Hoover, who served on the museum
association board, which, over the years, has read like a
"who's who" of the fly fishing world. Honorary directors
have included President Carter, A.K. Best, Ed Shenk and
Ed Bellis, a recipient of the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat
Commission's Abele (Conservation) Award.
While most of the museum's artifacts have been
donated, support is generated by three fundraisers a year-
an open house in March, a Heritage Day picnic in June
and a fall banquet that is preceded by the induction of new
members to the museum's Hall of Fame.
Some museum cases are sponsored including those
built, organized and donated by a group of Pittsburghers
associated with Penn's Woods West Trout Unlimited
in posthumous tribute to fly tier and author Chauncey
Lively, youth fishing mentor George Aiken and Bob Runk,
founder of the Pittsburgh Fly Fishers Club.
"These men left quite a legacy, and I wanted to be sure it
is honored," said Pittsburgh-based artist Nick Kratofil, who
fished Dunbar Creek, Fayette County, and other streams
with Lively and Aiken for more than 50 years.
Using items provided by the Lively and Aiken families
and friends, Kratofil filled the cases with Paul H. Young
Co. rods, wading staff, camera and other items including a
stream log opened to a May 29, 1950 entry in which Lively
describes "a fine picnic but high, muddy water that made
fly fishing almost impossible on Laurel Hill Creek."

Many of the anglers honored in the museum are still
fishing and mentoring on Pennsylvania streams including
Lefty Kreh and Ed Jawoworski, who were inducted into the
Hall of Fame last October.
"The people who should be in the museum are the
anglers who have helped other people learn the sport,"
said Hoffmaster, who is confident that a new generation of
anglers is now making its mark on Pennsylvania fisheries
and will be honored one day.
"There are some really talented people out there," said
Hoffmaster, naming prospects such as George Daniel, a
two time national champion with the United States Fly
Fishing Team, and author and hatch expert Henry Ramsay.
"The association plans to double its current space
in coming months and add storyboards and more
photographs as well as exhibits on loan from other
museums, including the American Museum of Fly Fishing
in Manchester, Vermont," said Hoffmaster.
The association's wish list includes a display of flies by
Elizabeth Stairing Benjamin, a 19th century tier who lived
in Ralston near Lycoming Creek, and the tackle collection
of Allentown native, the late Jim Leisenring.
"We want to include other people we don't have yet,
like Charlie Whetzel, who was a Penns Creek person, a
great trout fisherman and technician. We have hardly
anything of Sam Slaymaker II, who lived in Lancaster," said
Hoffmaster.
"Certain things have to be preserved," said Hoffmaster.
"And, Pennsylvania is where it all started."
