New Hampshire has a long history of fly tyers who were innovative and added to the long list of hallowed fly tyers. New Hampshire could give Maine a run for its money when it comes to fly tyers who made their mark on fly fishing.

Dick Eastman, a guide from the Connecticut Lakes region, created the Dick’s Killer bucktail in 1928. The fly was the top fish getter on the Second Connecticut Lake. Soon afterwards, Bill Edson took the fly to Percy’s Flies in Portland and created a modified Dick’s Killer and named it the Light Edson Tiger.
