      "answer": "Catskill dry flies are a traditional tying style developed right here in the Catskills over a century ago. They use stiff hackle, split wood-duck wings, and sparse bodies. Patterns like the Quill Gordon, Hendrickson, and Light Cahill were born on the Beaverkill. We tie and fish them every day.",
