HeraldNet: Man's flies a feather in his cap


HeraldNet: Man's flies a feather in his cap: "WARRENTON, Ore. -- Forty years ago, on a chicken farm in Warrenton, Henry Hoffman started a revolution in fly-fishing.

Hoffman, 73, is a meticulous fly fisherman who spent decades studying the science of fly-tying and breeding chickens to produce superior fly feathers.

The grueling effort, which required extensive research into the world of poultry and large expenditures on feed, drove off his first two wives and left him unable to pay child support by 1973."
