I wrote for this magazine for over 12 years. If you fly fish and tie flys and don’t read this magazine… you’re crazy!

It’s simply the best!

Chris Reeves at Fishing Class was one of the first people to take a serious interest in my fly tying. He introduced me to David Edwards of Bug-Bond and even got me to tie in public, which I said I would never do! As you will see from his site, he also offers a tying service for my fly designs and any other patterns you may need.

Since 1923 the Veniard Company has been supplying quality fly tying materials to the world’s tyers. Peter Veniard certainly has his finger on the pulse. Anything new on the scene is rigorously tested so that if the Veniard name is on it…it’s OK!
