Recently, a unique piece of fly fishing history was uncovered at the CFFCM. This is a group of specimen flies owned by John Alden Knight, a famous American angler and author. The framed collection of flies is composed of examples of fly tying craft by some of the most famous fly dressers of the early to mid 20th Century, including Theodore Gordon, Preston Jennings, Joseph Messenger, and many more.

Join John Shaner as he explores this one of a kind collection and relate the stories behind the flies. Then come to the CFFCM and see the framing for yourself!
