Signature Materials ...

A year ago I decided to roll the dice and take a chance. While I've tried a lot of things in life, the one constant has always been fly tying. If I'm honest it's probably the thing that defines who I am among all the things I've done along the way. My old friend Jack Mickievicz passed away a few years ago and I had the opportunity to buy what was left of his tying material business. I asked myself a hundred questions and finally concluded that the worst thing that could happen is I will die with dozens of barrels of un-processed furs and feathers. It could be worse. The past year has been a long process of developing my own dye and blend formulas, assembling notes and putting together the parts of this into something new and unique. Something I could put my name on. It's a process. Pictured here is my booth at the recent Maryland Fly Fishing Show. While it's nothing compared to the slick brick and mortar shops, it's all mine. I don't buy and resell materials. I make this shit. Hopefully in the near future this will become an online experience for tyers looking for unique things. Materials made by a tyer that takes it all very seriously and has spent a lifetime wrapping feathers around little hooks. Stay tuned, it will be fun they said. Till then ...
