Hey there Fly Tyers!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the channel. I've been tying flies for clients and shops since 2002 and even after all the years behind the vise still have a deep passion for flies. I tie so many flies I don't get much time on the water, but when I do, I really appreciate the time out in the wild. Many of the fly patterns I feature on the channel are the same ones you will see in my personal fly boxes. I prefer simple flies that are quick to tie over complex patterns. I tie flies for a variety of sportfish such as steelhead, Pacific Salmon, bass, pike, trout, and anything else with finns.

I've been fishing for well over 40 years now and have been tying flies since 2002. Most of the flies I tie are custom patterns for clients and you won't see most of those on the channel, but you may see similar fly patterns make an appearance.

Keep a hook in your vise.

Kaiser made a little fishing-themed Lego stop-motion video. I wanted to share it around. Thanks @kaiserjek

Sad news, l just learned that my friend Don Ordes passed away yesterday. This is one of the monster flies he tied for me a few years ago. You can see his artistic flies showcased on his website www.fantasyflies.com/ don’t leave without checking out the Baits Motel. RIP DonO

Hey Thread Heads. Here is a peak at what’s been keeping busy this week. This is a variation of Barr’s Jumbo John. It’s a simple pattern for steelhead and salmon, sort of a simplified version of the Copper John.
