(A writing to Dewey Gillespie from a very respected friend AJH) Once, a few years back, on the Northwest Miramichi River, New Brunswick, I rose a fine salmon to a #16 fly, but after that he steadfastly refused to come to look at any of my #16s. Lunchtime passed, and finally, I felt I must give up and leave the pool. Before leaving I decided on a final cast or two with a #12 fly to see if it would make a difference. It did. The fish rose and was hooked. When I brought him to the scales he drew them down to a full 14 pounds. Next time I'll stick with the #16s when a fish I rise is big and conditions are fair for ultra-light fishing. Over the years I have taken three salmon of over 12 pounds on #16 flies, each an exciting adventure in the playing of a great fish.

“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
