Glenn Mikkleson – Fly Tyer- Joins the Party

August 7th, 2009

We are proud to have Glenn Mikkleson join us at the fly tying bench at the Montauk Fishing Party! No matter how hard I try to tie an epoxy that looks good, I will never be able to replicate what Glenn can do with his eyes closed.

“What one finds with a Mikkleson fly is an extraordinary attention to quality. His flies are perfectly balanced, foul resistant and extremely durable. As a commercial fly tier Glen believes strongly in giving his clients a product that will stand the test of many fish. Paraphrasing one of his beliefs, Glen is fond of saying that any fly which falls apart after one fish is poorly designed and poorly tied. While this may seem obvious, low quality flies can easily begin to malfunction in unsuspecting ways that make them ineffective. Fouling is another issue that Glen works hard to prevent in his patterns. His epoxy bait fish designs are some of the most foul resistant in use today.” angelo peluso

Look forward to watching the masters on Sept 19th!

So thanks Rio, for some fantastic saltwater fly lines!
