Roger Pearson
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.”
“The best awards are when somebody comes up to me and tells me stories about catching fish on flies that I have tied. It was also a great honor for me that my flies, as ornaments, were chosen to be on the Christmas tree on the Mall in DC . I was proud to represent the state of Mississippi in 2015.” - Roger
