I tie flies, I try flies. Born near the mountains, raised by the sea. Living by the rivers found in between.

An elder fellow, on this river this morning, gave me this fly. It would be a great pattern done in black & sized down to a #16/18 to match the constant hatches of Chimarra on the river lately. Got to get back on the vice soon. #flytying #tyingflies #flyfishing

Yellow Sally Stonefly • Quill Gordon Mayfly • Baetis Mayfly • Yellow Sally & Baetis. These examples will really help me with correcting, coloring, proportions, and sizing. #flytying #flyfishing #insecticid

3 days after season opening, and I finally catch a fish worth a damn haha. I got shaken off while fighting another big rainbow upstream, so landing this one really made my day! #flyfishing #rainbowtrout

Gotta have some junk flies. Gluing the bead to the hook but not the material let's you swap out the worm body when it inevitably gets chewed up #flyfishing #flytying #tyingflies #TyingFliesTuesday

Explain your Twitter handle: 55gal Steel drum of methanol exploded beside me. 3rd degree burns on 30% of my body. The top of the barrel was found 100 meters away embedded in a chainlink fence. They told me if I had been 12" to the right, the top would have cut me in half.
Explain your Twitter handle: I used to be a wild sumbitch and was in some fuct up shit in the military… guess I identified with a woman saving me from myself.

ATTN FLY TYERS: Need advice for bleaching peacock herl. I use 1:1 bleach/water soaked 90 sec, agitate 90 sec, then rinse 2 min. Nice clean herl but fragile when dry. How do I make them supple again? I'd appreciate any advice. Thnx in advance! #flyfishing #flytying #tyingflies

Spent dinner last night with my bf discussing the hierarchy of man. He then used his PE slide-making abilities and sent me this today.
