I created "Grizzly Flies by Schottsie" to either aid in your
personal Fly Tying or hopefully to add to your Fly Fishing
Endeavors. Plus I want to supply you the customer if you
order flies, a quality fly that will hold together for more than
one hit, one snag, or one fish.
I reside in Southeastern, Michigan in the Dearborn Heights
area. Just minutes from the famed Bronzeback waters of
the Huron River. I'm originally from Holton area on the
Western Side of the State of Michigan., which is minutes
from the mighty Muskegon River, the White River, and just a
tad farther north the Pere Marquette River. Once I left the
Den of Holton Public Schools, I dabbled in a few things
before I enlisted in the Marine Corps and served as Assault
Gunner and Forward Observer for our Great Country.
I was interested in fly tying , and about 12 years ago, I
decided to jump into the arena of Fly Tying, and that was all
she wrote. I started Fly Fishing after everyone was using my
flies and catching fish. To this day, I have 5 of my own
designed patterns that have been proven on a lot of
Michigan Rivers and the Little River System in Tennessee.
My first tying class was with Dave Oakley at Gander
Mountain, with 3 classes. From there I have got my tying
hands on various videos, magazines, and books. Plus,
being in the Michigan Fly Fishing Club,  I have had the
honors to sit in seminars with various tyers, such as: Oscar
Feliu, Barry & Cathy Beck, Dennis Potter, Joe Humphries,
Jeff "Bear" Andrews, Dick Talleur, Kelly Galloup, A.K.Best,
and Bob Jacklin.  
If you have any questions on tying or want to order flies, feel
free to contact me.
