Though Chris is pretty new to tying, his
enthusiasm about tying is almost contagious!

I started fishing Steelhead and Atlantic Salmon
in 2010 with a centerpin when I moved to Sault
Ste. Marie for school. In less than half a year I
had made the switch to a two handed fly rod
and will never look back.  I started tying flies in
January of 2011, I caught my first Steelhead on
the swing on January 14, 2011 on a “Lady
Caroline” that I had tied myself using Canadian
Tube Fly Heron Hackle. Since then I have
studied the classic style salmon flies and the
newer trends of flies that are being swung
these days. I have found that I enjoy tying flies
as much as I do fishing these days. It is
extremely rare that a day to goes by where I
don’t sit at my vise for an hour or two learning
and practicing techniques. Through tying many
different styles of flies I have found my biggest
passion in the classic salmon flies of past
years. Very few things are as exciting as
hooking a Steelhead or Atlantic on a 100 year
old classic salmon fly pattern.
