Mike Michalak called me one day and asked me if I wanted to tie flies for the shop. They had just opened the doors and had a few other tyers for the shop. But of course I didn't refuse. I don't know how many PT's I tied for them. What's really amazing is that I got call the other day regarding some materials that were on back order. The first thing I noticed was the phone number. They've had the same number from the day they opened. There were many shops in Norhhern CA that I tied for. Ted Fay Fly Shop..... I tied up a lot of brown bombers, Spring Creek Anglers, Burney. Tied up PT's, hare's ear and rusty spinners for Bob Brink, Hat Creek Anglers. Going 299W, I tied the golden burlap stone fly for Herb Burton - Trinity Fly Shop and the Weitchpec Store at the bridge - all the basic steel head flies.
Started tying in Feb 1971, almost 50 years DAMN
