Ordinary Fly Fishers
The common man as fly fisher on the Miramichi.
ilton Connors, a barber
by trade, was a native of Blackville. He migrated to Halifax, but
by the 1920s he lived in Fredericton. His friend Lorne Ryan, a
Fredericton butcher, also hailed from the Miramichi. Together or
apart, they pursued trout and salmon on weekend trips to the river
system, either loading a tent into a dugout canoe or staying in
one of the small camps that had sprung up between the wars to
accommodate the influx of anglers.
