To all who want to buy Steve's flies, I can recommend a quick Google search for Steve Thornton. That will give you a link to Steve's site Virtual Nymph where you can find materials, books and much more from Steve and where you can contact him regarding flies.

We don't sell flies, we have no prices and we cannot help much when it comes to buying stuff that we mention on the Global FlyFisher. We provide links where we can, but when we don't, try searching through Google or your preferred search engine.

It's not that difficult...

Martin

Dogma fly framing

Framed flies can be pieces of art - both the flies and the framing. But creating your own framed flies is not that difficult. Follow these instructions and frame your first fly with few tools and few demands on routine and skill. You can develop it into art later.
