Bob and Dave's Auction Website

For those of you who enjoy collecting, Bob and Dave's Auction Website is a site you really should visit, if you haven't done so already.  World renown realistic fly tiers Bob Mead and David Martin have created this site specifically dedicated to collectible fly fishing and fly tying products.  The site works just like ebay.  You create a user account, browse various fly fishing and fly tying products and merchandise, and place bids on the items you want to purchase.  There are all kinds of products available there, such as collectible flies tied by world renown tiers, various literature including some unique vintage letters and books by high profile people in the fly fishing and tying industry, instructional CD's and DVD's, and so on.  It's worth a look, you never know what treasures you might find there at any given time.  I have just posted a few auctions myself, including collectible butterfly flies, a dragonfly, and a beetle.  Give the site a look, you won't be disappointed.  Click here to be taken directly to Bob and Dave's Auction.

New Tying Article Posted - The Brassie

The newest article for the Fly of the Month column I write for the Brodhead Chapter of Trout Unlimited is now available in the resources section.  This article features the Brassie, an efficient, effective fly that's a breeze to tie.  Click here to read the article.  Feel free to browse the other articles there as well to get some instruction on tying some of those must have patterns for your fly box.  And remember, if there's any specific fly you'd like me to feature in a future article, just drop me a line and let me know, I'd be happy to write an article on your specific fly!

Upcoming Events

  You can find me next at the Hackettstown Trout Hatchery in Hackettstown, New Jersey.  The

  hatchery is celebrating their 100th anniversary and has planned this one time event to

  commemorate the milestone.  The 2 day event will be held on June 2nd and 3rd, it sounds like

  one you won't want to miss!  Click here to like to their website for additional information.

 

  Also, I'll be back at the Allenberry Resort on the Yellow Breeches in Boiling Springs,

  Pennsylvania for the Annual Fly Fishing Heritage Day sponsored by the PA Fly Fishing Museum

  Association.  The event will be held on June 16, 2012, and is always a good time with many

  accomplished angelrs and tiers on hand.  Check the museum's website for updates in the 

  coming weeks for more information.

 

I hope to see you at some or all of these shows.  They are all a good time.  If you do attend, be sure to stop by the table and say hi!  And be sure to check the event calendar often, as I will post additional events as I become aware of them!

Beetles

Pictures of the beetles I tie.  Their shells are made out of fake fingernails, airbrushed to create the blended color pattern.
