This past weekend Lance Hidy held an event at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum. This new presentation included information about the relationship between Pete Hidy, James Leisenring and Rube Cross. Rube Cross was a well known fly tyer that conversed with Leisenring and Hidy quite often.
I want to thank William David Anderson, Ray Tucker, and Adam Rieger for getting some photos at the presentation for me. I greatly appreciate it. Unfortunately I was not able to attend the event myself.
I do know that Lance Hidy is working on a new book about Flymphs as well. So I can't wait for that!
The first eight photos were taken by Ray Tucker. The photos following that were taken by Adam Rieger. Enjoy the photos!
