On April 14, 2022 at 7:30 PM take a journey from the stone age to the present with Jeff Kurt as he presents his talk 40,000 Years of Angling History With a Brief Detour to New Jersey. Learn about the history of angling from earliest times and find out why we fish the way we do today. Discover New Jersey’s part in fishing history (yes – some important innovations happened here). This is a unique talk that you do not want to miss!
Jeff Kurt is a long-time member and past president of Hacklebarney TU who has an interest in angling history and antique fishing tackle (aka junk). Trying to find out how our ancestors fished he has fished with bamboo rods, silk lines and classic wet flies and has even gone as far as making horse-hair lines and homemade hooks in accordance with the Treatyse of Fysshynge with an Angle.
