Flytiers Page

 

Welcome to my Picture Gallery

Hi and welcome to this page that is dedicated to my fly fishing addiction. I've been a fly fisherman ever since I was a kid but I've only recently started recording a few of my fly fishing successes with a camera.

Anyway, here are a few of the pictures that I've snapped in the past few years - you can click on any of these to open up full resolution views of the same pictures (can be slow!):

Here are some unsorted RECENT TRIP PICTURES - click here.

First, some gorgeous Pyramid Lake Lahontan Cutthroat trout from a recent trip...

BH Prince Nymph

Muddler Minnow

A particularly deadly midge pattern - this one I have developed myself taking key bite triggering components from other working designs

BH Teeny Leech My "steelhead deadly" version of a Jim Teeny pattern

Michigan Skunk

Wooly Sculpin - A Kelly Galloup pattern

Zoo Cougar - A Kelly Galloup pattern

Seal Bugger -- this one is deadly!! Many thanks to Denny Rickards for creating this particular pattern (it has accounted for many of my larger fish in recent years) If I had to be limited to just one fly in the lakes of California this would be it.
