Dick Stewart was the second owner of the fly shop in North Conway, purchasing the shop from Dick Surette and renaming the shop the North Country Angler. Fly fishing was experiencing one of its many upcycles when Stewart owned the shop. Thousands of flies were sold at the shop and the majority of the flies were tied by local tyers.

If you have never tied a fly, it can be a laborious undertaking. Commercial fly tyers are always looking for ways to shave even a few seconds off the time to tie a fly. When tying 100 dozen of a pattern, a few seconds means that you can tie even more flies.
