I was born 1955 in Melbourne, Australia, and came to flyfishing late in life, not until my late 20's after I had emigrated to the USA in hot pursuit of a
stunning redhead. I settled in San Francisco then moved to Sacramento in 1996
I started tying not long after I began ff'ing and took lessons from Andre Puyans where the emphasis was on learning tying technique, not tying flies........
The flies submitted represent a sampling of patterns used on northern California waters whether for trout or striped bass
