John Morrisy Storey

1910 – 1971

 John “Jack” Storey was born on April 11, 1910 in Storeytown, a small community situated on north side of the river across from Doaktown, New Brunswick.

He became interested in fishing salmon at an early age.  As a result of growing up near the banks of the Miramichi River, he also became very skilled at handling a canoe in any water.  This came to serve him well in later years when he became involved in the guiding profession.  The reputation of the guide can be based on his ability to take fisherman to locations where fish can be hooked.  Because Jack was an experienced angler, his success in this respect earned him a place among the top guides on the Miramichi. 

“Jack” was an excellent fly tyer and so possessed all the qualities necessary to be a top-notch guide.  One of his many sport fishermen “Jack” guided said, “He was always courteous, dependable and an excellent guide, always trying to do more for you than you would ask for, or expect.

In 1985 John Morrisy Story was inducted into the Sportsman Hall of Fame in the Atlantic Salmon Museum at Doaktown, New Brunswick.

By Dewey H. Gillespie

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.
