Congratulations Fred (Cover of Autumn 2013 Fly Tyer Magazine)

I was walking thru my local supermarket this afternoon and as I glanced sideways, I saw the Autumn 2013 edition of Fly Tyer magazine. I instantly recognized the fly on the cover as that of our own Fred Hannie (screen name Fred H.). I broke into a huge smile and said "Congratulation Fred!" out loud to myself.

 

Congratulations Buddy, on the well deserved recognition! Bravo!

Thanks Ray, making the cover with my first submission is probably due more to luck or timming . I would'nt even begin to understand how someone would plan for that. I have learned alot from this site and people like yourself on presentation and photography .

 

Paul , I would be honored to sign a copy for you my friend. You'll notice the pattern is still evolving , let me know what you think of the leg technique.

 

Shoebop , thank you for your kind words,Fred

Fred if I can find a copy and send it to you will you sign it for me? Finding a copy here in this backwater will be a trick.... I'm always bragging about the master tiers I know and someday hope to actually meet in person...lol.... You see a person's work for years and message back and forth and ya begin to feel like you know them

I picked up a copy finally this past weekend. I'd seen your frog and fish flies and was always impressed. That SBS was killer. I know you make it seem easier than it really is though. Did you submit the SBS, or the fly and then they asked you to do the SBS afterwards. I'm curious how that whole process of getting accepted works since it will likely not happen to me. Share your experience please....
