Old fly pattern books make good fly-tying references (STEVE ANGERS PHOTO)

For 20 years, the North Country Angler has been home to a fly-tying institution. Lyars & Tyers is a group of valley anglers who meet at the shop on Saturday mornings from the middle of November until designated Trout Ponds open at the end of April.

Last year’s season saw in-shop sessions suspended due to the pandemic and the concern of the safety of fellow fly tyers. The tradition continued virtually on Facebook Live and Google Meet. Going virtual allowed Lyars & Tyers to go global. Fly tyers from Canada, Japan and England come to mind. Fly tyers from 25 states participated over the course of the season. Fly tying is a global craft that knows no boundaries.
