November again...

Here is a few flies tied the past few weeks.

Still in business since 1996.

The past year... or few years... have been different.

Things are finishing up with my old house and what the future will hold.

Meanwhile I have been doing small fly tying orders still.

Anyone needs Custom fly orders. Preferably any of the patterns I post is what I am tying these days. Colors and hook sizes can vary per request obviously.

Feel free to hit me up via message for a Custom fly order and I will see if I can accommodate, no doubt.

Zettle invoice to your email. Easy Peasy.

See you soon 😊

I tied a few steelhead flies and some others for a buddy, and maybe later I'll do an intruder and baby spey order.

Yes. I dipped it... a bunch or wine bottle corks next.
I dipped wood in the past but large pieces in a bin... This is cool and a custom request. A friend from the shows used to make "perfect" dip or poured painted poppers, etc. I always wanted to try this on flies... Always admired Rich Bogardus's work. He inspired me to do these.

I was trying to get a Camouflage look as the customer requested.
I may do a traditional Camouflage as well by hand.

The Doll eyes tho !
I have had dolls eyes forever... uselessly sitting in an organizer box.

Recently one the cool tyers did some Poppers with doll eyes and I had to use a few.

Please let me know who you are, Buddy !

Always Tagging my guys at . They are the Best !
PR320's size 1/0 Flex UVs, both regular and Bone Dry Flex.



I gotta redo a few more and up my dipping game.

Hey my Friends !

Back at the vise for some small custon Fly orders.

Currently we are recovering from car accident, hospital stays, family deaths, work on house, losging, and everyday life. I am happy to still be above ground tho.

Lots of daily stuff to do so the future is possible 😁

Anyhoo

Hoping to continue tying small custom fly orders and start up some of my sublimation art projects.

Here are a few fly patterns from client and friend's orders from the past month. ☺️

Thank You for Still staying with me after all these years.

Let me know if anyone needs fly patterns. I do custom work only these days. But as always please feel free to hit me up if you need anything. Artwork, logo designs, mugs, etc., or flies.

If I can not tie them I have a few talented young gun tyers that can. Shawn approved, lol.

On that note.

Still trucking and grinding daily. Thinking of many of you.

Here are some patterns from past 3 weeks or so...

Happy Sunday All !

An update on this Page just because some friends and followers may still visit now and then.

My buddy runs The store in Canaan and sell his Antiques and collectables... Stuarts Antiques on 32 Railroad Street in Canaan CT. across from the old theater 🤙

I still bring some items and art there.. but after a few years of recovery from a car accident and then a lung surgery etc. ... my main goal is to keep on healing and truckin'...lots more downsizing on our mulifamily home and working daily on moving to something smaller and away from the cities.. 😊🤙

I still find time to do some miscellaneous art and an occasional custom fly orders if time permits.

And plans on doing some shows and fishing events this season.

Anyone wants to contact me feel free to message or comment..

As of now I'll be at the Fisherman's Flea this Saturday the 8th of April in Riverton CT...
I'll have my buddy tying some of his flies..a Handful of my flies...some Custom hats...and some miscellaneous used tackle etc... Come on By and say hello !

Grace and I lost our Bella Bear Britton... our Fur Baby...

The dog was a soft furry rock for me to learn on...
I was blessed with Bella... My old friend Shawn...guide partner gifted my Bella to me years ago... a true Blessing ♥️

Have not really used this page since my Car accident in 21...
Then part time at my shop in which my buddy pretty much sells antiques and treasures.

As well as stuff I put in shop.

Im still in the process of healing up but not balancín and walking as well due to car crash. Then separate recovery from lung surgery etc...

But I still grind everyday...
