NH Master Traditional Artist and 2003
Governor Arts Awards Folk Heritage Award Recipient Ellis Hatch,
Jr., has passed away. As a world-renowned fly tyer, he dedicated
his life to perpetuating the art of fly tying in the State of New Hampshire and
beyond. His undying spirit and enthusiasm for the history and lore of fly
fishing made him an icon for those who sought to improve their skill. He will
be sorely missed in both the fly tying and traditional arts communities.
