#1By way of introduction, my name is Justin, I live in Maine and have been tying for over thirty years. I focus mostly on classic flies and am sort of a collector of fly patterns. Here’s a Shufelt Special

#10Enjoyed seeing the original tie and appreciate the pattern details. Well done. The second version would also fish. Good to see multiple interpretations of great patterns.
