You should tell your daughter the story of 8-year-old Holly Theriault and her famous Maple Syrup fly pattern - often erroneously credited to her dad, Alvin, as his design pattern.

Kim Kim, Just read a story about the Maple Syrup Fly, what an adventure they’ve had with that creation. I’ll have to try and tie some as we here in MI make our own Maple Syrup up North at my in-laws homestead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
