Early Spring Fishing

watercolor, 6 3/4 by 9 3/4 in.

Charles “Buzz” Eichel was Ogden Pleissner’s attorney, friend, and neighbor for many years. Born in Brooklyn, he attended Williams College and New York University School of Law. Like Pleissner, he was an avid fisherman. His obituary notes, “He enjoyed the Florida Keys for the beauty of tarpon and bonefish, the Goodnews in Alaska for giant salmon and steelhead, and his back yard on the Battenkill, where he fished for lunch. He was a founding member of "Fly Fishing Magazine," and is a Trustee Emeriti of the American Museum of Fly Fishing.” Eichel loved to ski at Bromley, serving as the oldest active ski patrol member in the country in 2013. He also collected and sold antiques, co-owning an antiques store with his wife, Annaick.
