Fly Tying

Guild member since 2009

Roger uses feathers, thread, animal fur, and a galaxy of other materials in the intricate art of fly tying. He ties flies for all kinds of fish, from bass to bluegills, salmon to redfish to tarpon. The results are elaborate, festive little works of art, good for attracting fishermen as well as fish. Roger’s flies are so attractive they have even been used as tree ornaments at Christmas, and he has some in display cases inscribed with the legend, “In case of fishing emergency, break glass.”
