"chris" a/k/a Chris Cook, Surrey, England Hi, I own and run Fly Fishing World, which looking at the members also here, some of you will be familiar with, if not have a look at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flyfishingworld I am a professional fly tyer on the grounds that I tie hundreds of flies a year to order for customers and last year tied some orders for shops but have decided against doing that this year. I will try and help with any fly tying problems or questions any of you encounter. I fish mainly stillwaters here in England and have fished lots abroad, from Montana, Florida, Ohio, Wyoming, Australia, Thailand, and elsewhere and so have some knowledge bout various other countries around the globe. My passion lies in nymphs and buzzer fishing, I have developed various patterns of which I have had good success and slightly adapted some great existing patterns for my local fisheries. rrhyne56 a/k/a Robin Rhyne McKinney, Tx. I fish for bluegills mostly, and bass as well since they inhabit very similar cover. When trout are stocked I go up to the Blue River in Oklahoma right outside Tishomingo. "brad"I’m originally from the east side of PA. At that time commercial tying was just a hobby. I spent 7 years in Florida chasing Tarpon, and commercially tying flies, both fresh and saltwater. In 96 I moved to central Michigan having access to the Pere Marquette, Manistee and the Muskegon Rivers. Recently I moved to Dracut, Mass. I’ve been in the fly fishing industry 30 years, and commercially tying for 20 years. In 1999, I was selected by the FFF, to be entered in their Book Vol.6…Patterns of the Masters. Brad is a fly fisher, fly tyer and outdoor writer. "flysoup" or "olAl" a/k/a Allen Crise "A Hess" a/k/a Aron Hess I've been into fly fishing most of my life (23 yrs) but I've kind of fallen out of it for the last few years. I live in NW Oregon and fish for trout, steelhead and salmon, plus whatever else is around at the time. My mom tied while I was a young'un and I tied some very simple ones, but that was years ago. I'm trying to get her back into it because she was great at it, and I think we could sell a few on ebay and stuff. Her only excuse is "I don't have any peacock feathers" so I'm trying to round some up from the local farmers. Her and my favorite is the Royal Coachman/Wulff type, they catch anything around here. She was also good at tying the itty bitty ones like mosquitoes and nymphs... heck just about anything. "lemoucher" I'm from montreal, i'm tying my own flies for more than a year, same thing for flyfishing. I'm fishing almost everyday, lucky me i live 5 min. of st-laurence river. "FL SKIBUM" I live just north of Tampa, Florida in a small town called Land O' Lakes. Most of my fly fishing done here in FL is in and around the saltwater mangroves. My fresh water piscatorial prowess is mostly ponds and smaller lakes as I fish mainly from a canoe. I also fish a couple of rivers around here. Twice a year I go up to the north GA, S.C and N.C. mountains in search of them wary trout. I love the Chattooga River, Tallullah River, Mocassin Creek, Wildcat Creek, Coleman River etc. Not real good at it since I don't get to fish all that much up there since I don't live there but enjoy every cast. Well, maybe not every cast. Some wind up in trees or the backside of my waders, haven't hooked my ear yet! "Steven Berry" Being from Southern Indiana(Milltown), we have few trout and alot of panfish and bass, so i'll see if i can help :)(we have few trout here{There are some stocked places, but they are a decent ways away}.....and to clear up things up a little, panfish = bluegill, all sunfishes{except bass}, and pretty much anything that will fit in a pan ;)). "Happy Hooker" My name is Keith, I'm from Michigan and enjoy fishing for just about anything as long as it's with the flyrod.
