Yale's Peabody Museum Explores "Nature of Fly Fishing"

“‘You pick your level of insanity when it comes to fly fishing,’ [senior collections manager in entomology Raymond] Pupedis admits. ‘In the act of doing this, you learn a lot of esoteric things about silk, glues, bamboo. But trust me, there are fly fishermen everywhere.'” The special exhibition going on in New Haven, Connecticut includes Babe Ruth’s E.F. Payne rod, the Shakespeare rod used by Ted Williams, Bing Crosby’s Orvis rod, and Glenn Miller’s Paul Young rod. Jim Shelton in the New Haven Register.
