Even in his youth, Angus Deaton eagerly went on fishing trips for some time alone. These fishing trips taught him that he is often at his most creative when doing something other than his regular routine. While fishing, he could unconsciously explore scientific problems – an experience he shares with many. This box of flies is from the mid-1950s. The flies are all different and have specific names. Deaton has tied some of them himself but says his talent lies more in economics.
Angus Deaton donated the fishing flies to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2015. - Pristagare
