On Thursday, July 6, AMFF Ambassador Scott Biron joined Curator Jim Schottenham for an educational look at the streamer fly. Scott is an active fly tying instructor for NH Fish & Game and is a popular attraction when presenting his instructional tying lessons at national, international and regional shows. Scott and Jim discussed the history behind the streamer pattern in the U. S., with a focus on the patterns of Ray Salminen, a man who was close friends with Joe Bates. Scott also showed us how to tie one of Ray’s flies, the Gray Glory.
