(A writing to Dewey Gillespie from a very respected friend AJH) I first met the old angler on his favourite river, the Northwest Miramichi, fly fishing for Atlantic salmon. On parting of the ways with the old angler, I inquired after his place of abode, and happening to be in the neighbourhood a few evenings later, I had the curiosity to seek him out. I found him and his spouse living in a modest home, a little back from the road, with a small brook, and flowerbed in back stocked with flowers. I found him seated in a chair on the patio smoking his pipe in the soft evening sunshine. He had been angling all day, and gave me a history of his sport marked by close attention to detail, as a Five Star General would talk over his campaign. How comforting it is to see an occasionally cheerful and contented old age and to behold a fellow like this, after being tempest-tost through early life, safely moored in a snug and quiet harbour in the evening of his days. |

“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. Copyright © 2007
