About this person
Despite never fishing herself, Boyd's precision and quality in fly tying made her creations sought after by local anglers. She invented a traditional pattern called "The Megan Boyd," and her work earned her the British Empire Medal in 1971. Boyd retired at 70 due to failing eyesight but remained a major supporter of the North Atlantic Salmon Fund until her death in 2001.
