I offer a wide variety of custom and unique fly patterns as well as fly tying instruction. Many of my custom patterns are a unique combination of soft foam, glue, paint, polyurethane, rubber, feathers, fur, mylar, and tinsel. They are constructed using techniques that I developed through many years of design, fishing, and experimentation at the fly tying vise. My hope is that you will enjoy fishing them as much as I enjoy tying them.
Flies...
I offer a wide variety of poppers, sliders, "stickbait" style flies, "propbait" style flies, soft foam frogs, and more. In addition I offer a wide variety of subsurface patterns as well. One of my most popular, the Hipps Hellcraw, appeared in Fly Tyer magazine. I also create some unique saltwater patterns. Simply put, if you have a favorite lure, floating or sinking, I probably have a fly that would effectively mimic it.

Fly Tying...
In addition to flies I also do fly tying instruction. Some of my pattern recipes are featured on Ward Bean's excellent site Warmwater Fly Tyer. Many of my pattern recipes are available too as PDF files. For those desiring personal instruction I also offer private instruction as well as organized classes.
Here's a video clip of my very popular Hipps Soft Body Popper Series that appeared in Fly Tyer Magazine. Just click here ....
Fly Tying Demonstrations...
Ever need a guest speaker or a demonstration of fly tying at your club meeting or special event? I have extensive experience in this area and have done fly tying demonstrations regularly at FFF Conclaves for the past several years.
