Our industry lost a great one recently: Leigh H. Perkins, 1927-2021
Fly fishing as we know it wouldn't be what it is without the hard work of many individuals that came before us. Leigh H. Perkins passed away on the May 7th. As the man who put Orvis on the map and understood the value of corporate responsibility, his legacy as a conservationist and industry icon will live on for generations.
