One
afternoon at L.L. Bean I saw a man tying saltwater flies. From that point
on I wanted to tie flies so my parents bought me a Premium L.L. Bean fly tying
kit. It took me about two years until I got good enough to sell them at
Fly Rod Jackie’s Fly Fishing Shop.
I'm a thirteen year old Fly Tier and I have been tying for 3 years. I have taken lessons from Selene A. Dumaine.
I enjoy tying Carrie Stevens’ flies and many others. Now I own my own business, Mac’s Fly Tying. I have tied about 265 flies for Fly Rod Jackie's fly shop and hopefully many more to come!
I love to fish with my flies on Maine’s rivers, ponds, and lakes. My other hobbies are Woodworking, Mechanics, and Drawing.
