Although
I don't get much time to do it these days, fly tying has
always been one of my favorite aspects of fly fishing. The
satisfaction of catching a fish on a fly you not only made
but designed is one of the most satisfying experiences in
all of angling. I created this page to showcase a few of
the flies that I have come up with over the years that have
grown a following. These are the flies that were born with
much encouragement from "Mother Neccesity" and
lots of guidance from "Mother Nature". These are
the flies that I turn to first (when I have had a chance
to tie some up) and flies that have become staples in other's
fly boxes. I offer the tying instructions here so that you
can enjoy them. For those of you who are looking to "borrow"
these patterns for reasons outside of simply fishing them,
please keep in mind that these patterns have all been published
and protected and any such use will require my written permission.
I
get many e-mails from people asking to buy flies and although
I was able to do this for a time, these days my schedule
just doesn't allow for it. Perhaps this will change and
perhaps not. Whatever the case, you should have all the
info here to tie your own - something far more satisfying!
I have also included links to some of the many fly tying
articles I have written which should be even more food for
thought.
Tight
Lines and Happy Tying!
