Spey Hackle

A Spey Hackle gets its name from the River Spey in Scotland. It is a very long, flowing hackle designed to impart movement to the fly in a strong current. Usually tied to the hook at the rear, and follows the rib to the head. Fine oval tinsel is wrapped in the opposite direction to hold the hackle in place to give it strength while fishing.

“Where The Rivers Meet”

The Fly Tyers of New Brunswick the 2^nd 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.
