Fascinating article about NFLCC Co-founder

Post by Mike N »

Dudley Murphy, who recently passed, was a nationally-renowned Bluegrass music guitarist. He co-founded the National Fishing Lure Collectors Club (NFLCC) and was the longtime editor of the color-filled NFLCC Magazine. A true modern-day renaissance man. Thanks to Dick Streeter for finding this article (with music links). Rest In Peace, Dudley.

Dudley was among the first people I met in fishing tackle collecting and he always was encouraging, friendly, and helpful. His father was from Kentucky and made some of the finest fishing lures in the Harrington Lake Lexington region. Dudley will be missed by all.
