I'm interested in innovative and unique flies that look alive in the water using both traditional and modern materials and methods. I design many of my flies to match specific insect species and life stages. This way I can use softhackled fly patterns where they haven't been used before to match the hatch on the most technical trout waters. In addition to this channel, if you are interested in learning more insight and techniques about the types of flies I design and techniques used to fish them read my books: Tying & Fishing SoftHackled Nymphs, Spiders to Flymphs: The Evolution of the SoftHackled Wet Fly and FlyFishing SoftHackles: Nymphs, Emergers and Dry Flies. I am also available for fly tying and fly fishing presentations.
