So you think America has talent?
Now here’s your chance to prove it. I’ve just received approval to do a feature article on twenty-five saltwater fly patterns (of any style, types of fishing) for the Winter Issue of Fly Tyer Magazine.
What I’m looking for are individuals who feel their tying talents excel in the saltwater area only. Not looking for professional fly tiers. No ringers please. If you have already had work published… forget about it? Looking for a few good men (or women) who would like to have their work recognized/scrutinized in the public eye. We’ll see where your career goes from there.
