“Where The Rivers Meet”
The Fly Tyers of New Brunswick the 2nd Time Around
By Dewey H. Gillespie
“Where The Rivers Meet” The Fly Tyers of New Brunswick is the creation of Miramichi natives Dewey H. Gillespie and Walter Francis “Budd” Kitchen. Since the early 1990’s they have collected and promoted information on New Brunswick Fly Tyers and now they wish to share this information with you. The Fly Tyers represented in this collection were selected to acknowledge the contribution they made to the art of fly tying in the Province of New Brunswick.
Dewey and “Budd” graciously contribute this article to be published for your reading enjoyment.
