Rosina Megan Boyd BEM (29 January 1915 – 15 November 2001) was a British fly tyer most noted for her Atlantic salmon flies. She lived most of her adult life in a small cottage in Kintradwell, near Brora, Scotland. Boyd, a renowned figure in the Scottish Highlands, was known for her fly tying skills, eccentric style, and service during World War II. 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.
