Flyfishing inspired art. I arrange shapes and colors in the mid-century modern style to evoke curiosity and joy for the viewer.

Thanks for the guess. It is not the name of this fly pattern interpretation, but I'm glad to have a new fly to learn about.
Thanks for playing!
Work in progress. Can you guess the name of the fly pattern? Extra points for the name of the creator. Hint: someone famous in fly fishing lore.

Work in progress. The Vicuna Tungsten Nymph. Vicuna dubbing is hand-made fly-tying material from alpaca, that floats great.

Now you've made me curious. Maybe I can find it on a map, along Highway 8.

The Modern Fly update: You may have noticed a lack of new fly pattern art in the past few months. Family health issues have taken a front seat these days. I hope to return to the creative process soon. Best wishes from The Modern Fly.
