Gary's Streamers
I spent 10 years working for the National Wild Turkey Federation, first as a Regional Director, and finally as their first Director of Development. I then became Executive Director of the American Museum of Fly Fishing, a position I held for almost 7 years - making me the longest serving director of that institution in its history (trust me, that's an accomplishment!). I left the nonprofit world to become, happily, a self-employed carpenter/cabinet maker. Leaving the nonprofit grind was the single smartest move I ever made! And now, at 61, I try VERY hard to fish more than I work. I'm getting pretty good at that.

Since you got this far …
… 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.

Raise heritage turkeys in many colour patterns and would like to speak with you about your applications for using turkey feathers in fly tying.
Thank you kindly.

Hi, I just now saw this, sorry I didn't see it sooner. I don't use a lot of turkey feathers in the flies I tie, sad to say. You might surf around this site and see what tyers are showing flies tied with some turkey.
Sorry not to be of any help,
Gary

I loved the picture of the really relaxed guy in the photo. Would like to take him fishing. An old friend from Pa. Gary Magee
