Wayne Luallen



Wayne has tied most every type of fly he could get his vise clamped onto since 1974. He has demonstrated at numerous local, regional, national, and international events, including International Federation of Fly Fishers Conclaves since 1980. Wayne's work has been published in several magazines and books in the U.S. as well as Europe, including Tying the Classic Salmon Fly edited by Mike Radencich.

A new book for the beginning fly tier is soon to be released by Stackpole books that Mike and Wayne again joined forces on; Mike photographing as Wayne tied. The FFF Wayne "Buz" Buszek Memorial Fly Tying Award was presented to him in 1991. Wayne is especially fond of teaching the details of fly tying, from thread control to understanding the nature of tying materials.

The selections of patterns submitted to this page has been very deliberate. On the face of it, very simple flies, and in essence they are. But... lots of little details in these -- that is why I tie them. Simple on the outside, but challenging when I get done with them!!
