Charlie's Biography

I started tying fly's after receiving a fly tying kit for Christmas in 1960, while stationed in Thule, Greenland. I'm self taught an have been tying for over 50 years. During the 50 years of tying I have tried to specialize in tying tandem and single hook streamers. Also I have developed a passion for tying Atlantic style salmon hair-wings. This has been a wonderful relaxing hobby for me. I have designed several streamer patterns, and many hair-wing patterns. Several of my fly's have been published in major fly tying books, and in Fly Tyer magazine. I am starting to slow down when I turned 80, but I will continue as long as I can.

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
