Some Fly Fishing History

A few weeks ago my son gave me a shadow box with a photo of Elsie Darbee and three flies she had tied placed into three smaller compartments in the lower part of the box.

    That is quite a gift! You just don't see Catskill flies like that being fished so often anymore.

    Pete, sorry I missed this.
    That is really fly fishing history. Elsie and Harry Darbee were real Catskill pioneers.
