Enjoyed the column on tying flies 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 10—he has caught several trout on his own creations. He (and I) follow no recipes; he 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.
