A longtime fly fisher, Bruce opened Mayfly & Company so that avid fly fishers from the Boston area wouldn't have to drive out to Concord or Pepperell for gear.
Bruce first learned about fly fishing from a childhood friend, Skip Mills. At eighteen years old, Skip told Bruce, "I am going teach you something that will stick with you the rest of your life."
They spent many whole days standing in the Ken Lockwood Gorge and Musconetcong River in New Jersey, poles in hand. Bruce quickly fell in love with the sport. "It's the peace, the tranquility," says Bruce. "Time seems to stop. Six hours of fly fishing goes by like two. It's addictive."
Bruce worked twenty-two years in the restaurant business and was featured in the New York Times for his food, Subsequently he started a business restoring old homes. "Once I turned fifty, I said to myself, you can do this or you can wish you did it." And so Mayfly & Company was hatched. Bruce has filled the store with equipment and materials of extraordinary quality, much of it unique to Mayfly & Company.
