Following my post containing the scans of Cecil Heacox’s 1969 Charmed Circle of the Catskills articles, Ed Ostapczuk emailed that Heacox did a follow up in the May 1972 edition of Outdoor Life on Catskill Flytyers. Naturally, I had to track that one down, too.

It turned out to not be online either, so I set some eBay alerts for that edition and got a hit a few days later.

Here it is, also available on the Internet Archive:

I donated the physical 1969 copies to the Jerry Bartlett Angling Collection at the Phoenica Library. I’ll donate this May 1972 copy as well the next time I’m out that way.

At some point, I think someone needs to publish a Cecil Heacox Collected Works project. Perhaps that is my responsibility, now that I’ve confronted the possibility. If you want to help with that, let me know.

One interesting aside: I noticed that Outdoor Life republished the March 1969 Cecil Heacox Charmed Circle articles online today. I can’t help but think my tracking the article down last month and sharing it widely popped up on their radar and prompted them to republish it. I might never know. Regardless, I’m happy to have multiple versions available online now for redundancy and resilience.
