Kim ran out of flash bulbs and film for his Polaroid in 1972 so he ties the flies, sends them to a friend who photographs them and sends Kim the pictures. I bet Kim really misses those instant picture days of old. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The patterns are from different on-line sources - the ties are mine own. Well, at least my decent attempts! I'm building a database of fly patterns - mostly from sites in danger of going off-line - so they are not lost. I have a little over 3000 patterns now and will end up with another 2000 by the time I finish. It's a great resource when I have newer tyers join my swaps. Kim BTW, if you want to see a good tyer tie these more recent patterns check out - Fly Patterns (michigandryflies.net) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
