Realistic and Artistic Fly Tying
I enjoy creating and tying realistic flies, most of which are not intended for fishing with, instead, simply enjoying the challenge of imitating insects and striving to make them look as alive as possible. Some of these flies have been acquired by collectors, others used in product advertisements, Film and TV productions, and others presented as donations and gifts.
