Joseph Kennedy Fisher III, proprietor of fly rod manufacturer J. Kennedy Fisher, Inc., died on May 7 at the age of 76. Fisher's company made the blanks used by R. L. Winston in its early fiberglass fly rods and later became known for the quality of their graphite rod tapers, which in the 1980s became a favorite of rod builders.
