Part of an order going out to John T. Law.

I wanted to give a shoutout to Dave Anderson for the lovely bowls he made for me. I use them on my fly tying desk (an old antique sewing table) to hold materials and finished flies. Thanks Dave Anderson, they are beautiful and I appreciate the thought!

I love tying tubes! I will post pics of my flies as I tie them. I don't really have patterns or names for the flies, preferring to go by colors instead, however; I do tie patterns for special orders. I use only gold grade jungle cock, and high quality materials. Generally my pattern is that each tube is dubbed with a raccoon under body before an arctic fox & flash wing. Flies are shipped with junction tubing and a few hooks. PM me if you are interested in purchasing a dozen or two.

A great photo of my dad taking a nap, on the trail. I came around the corner to find this one afternoon. Me: Where are the guests? Dad: Somewhere around here. Me: What happens if a bear comes along (they use the trail ALL the time too)? Dad: Guess it'll just step over me.... Me: Lol. My pa was surely a mountain man. Si Chava Transken

The second fly is always better than the first.
