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

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

Me too. I took my friend from New Jersey to camp in Joshua Tree. He was amazed.

It's too long ago for me to remember. My brother and I did a lot of camping road trips back in the 1970s.

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.

While The Modern Fly is on sabbatical, enjoy a review of past Toucan King creations. Toucan Sub: the little king is saying, "Two can live a life of ease."
