About This Work

In her little tying hut above the Scottish North Sea, Megan Boyd dedicated half a century to tying Atlantic salmon flies. In 1971 she was awarded the British Empire Medal. "I'd rather think you got it for what you do for other folk than for fly tying," she said later. Among the people who went to see her and purchase flies was Charles, the Prince of Wales. Although she could have sold flies to collectors for hundreds, she sold them to fishermen for only a few dollars. "The fishermen is my bread and butter, so he comes first. Orders from the collectors have to wait at the bottom of the pile," she said. When I asked my Scottish friends if they knew of Megan Boyd, they said, "Know of her... we KNOW her!" Turns out she lived in the next town over. The gouache is of a fly tied by Megan.
