Enjoyed this immensely. Bought my first fly tying kit at Beech Mountain Boy Scout Camp well over 65 years ago...still have that cheap vice. I served as Camp Director at the DeBruce Conservation Camp in 1967 and witnessed the interest of the campers in fly tying and fly fishing. I started my grandson tying when he was ten....he has caught several trout on his own creations. He (and I) follows no recipes...just ties what he has seen in the stream; His stuff works! We will resume our winter tying soon and dream of fishing for trout in the Spring.

Thanks for this piece,
