Hello all, I heard last week, and have not put hook to vise without thinking about the vast contribution she made to the art (though she would never see it this way). In a time when flies became mass produced for pennies each, and despite synthetics and scale-downs of traditional patterns, she continued in a time honored tradition of dressing her salmon flies properly. Her flies were built to fish, their functionality was their beauty. She will be missed.
