After spending 3 days in Denver at The Fly Fishing Show, I looked through my photos and realized that I didn't get nearly as many photos as I wanted to and I didn't get any shots other than the flies that everyone was tying. I had planned on getting shots of some product and some presenters, but never got the chance to do so. So, you will just have to settle for pictures of flies. I hope you don't mind.
A peek into Shea's "reject box". I don't see any rejects in there, do you?
More of Shea's box.
More Splatte patterns.
Flies from Kevin Compton.

What kind of box is that in your 2nd last photo (the black one)?
ReplyDeleteGee, I didn't need to go to the show after all. I could have just sat right here on my couch. Thx!
ReplyDeleteDewad's display case...oh my word those are beautiful. I'll take that "reject" box. Great photos, thanks for sharing with those that couldn't make it! -stephanie
ReplyDeleteDP, That box is a C&F Box. It has 4 sides for fly storage. It has a middle leaf and it has storage on both sides. It carries around 1,000 flies.
ReplyDeleteGary, Maybe next year??
Stephanie-You are very welcome!
Man I wish my flies looked like any of those. I'm also jealous of anyone who can organize flies in a box. Thanks Juan.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Juan. Thanks for the flies. I am still looking for a recipe for the peacock caddis. Any ideas? I looked at the CSO site, but i didn't find anything there. Have a great day, Jerry
ReplyDeleteNice pictures Juan, verry nice boxes as well!
ReplyDeleteJosh
Jerry--The Peacock Caddis is on COS You Tube Site. You'll have to look for it again but it's there.
ReplyDeleteThanks to all for the comments. There are some amazing tiers out there. I just wanted to share a few of them and their work.
Juan
Hey Juan Thanks for the directions to the utube video. Just have to search a little more. Jerry

ReplyDeleteDid Shea ever sign with anyone?
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, he hasn't. Umpqua was looking at his stuff but I don't think ithas gone anywhere yet. I am
ReplyDeletetrying to have him send some stuff to MFC.
