Looking for fly tyers to feature

[novabass 0]

I had asked about West coast tyers before and you guys were very helpful. Now I'm looking for new content in general. I'm looking for names of fly tyers out there I could contact and could feature some of their work on FrankenFly. If you could mention some names and possibly a way to contact them, I would really appeciate it.

 

Also, if you have any suggestions on new content for the FrankenFly website at all, that would be great. I'm open for suggestions. In October it will be a full year I've had the site live and I'm glad it has been well received by the fly tying community.

 

Please and thank you,

Paul

Really great blog, going to contact you in winter once things have slowed down here. Hope this doesn't piss you off too much but i always get eyestrain and headache reading white text on a black background and just don't bother with it, like when i look away from the screen i see lines.

Can't remember if you have Juan Ramirez "Hopper Juan" on there or not but he's a local tyer and guide in Colorado Springs, CO and has a blog of his own.

Thanks guys!

 

Jam, sorry to hear that about the black. That's good to know. I'm always open for comments.

 

hopperfisher - Actually have a Hopper Juan interview coming soon.

 

RickZieger - Will do!

I like neutral colors for my page. I use a navy blue with a white or light blue text. Seems easier to read, and not as boring as white with black.

Nova, no probs you may want to think about light text on a dark background.

And if you are going to stick to a dark design use better spacing.
