GREASE LINE STEELHEAD FLIES WITH HARRY LEMIRE

GREASE LINE STEELHEAD FLIES WITH HARRY LEMIRE Harry Lemire, is a member of the Northwest Atlantic Salmon Fly Tying Guild & the Washington State Steelhead Flyfishers. Harry has been tying flies for 70 years & has influenced steelhead & salmon fly fishers with his innovative ideas of flies & fly presentation. His most recent recognition has been his In-Hand fly tying (using no vice) of full dress Atlantic Salmon Patterns featured in the New Hooked On Fly Tying DVDs Volumes 35 & 36. In 1962, Harry Lemire originated the Grease Liner, which is the grandfather of all fall steelhead waking flies & the inspiration behind many caddis patterns. Unlike many fly tyers that develop steelhead & salmon patterns based on artistic flare, Harry always designed & fished his flies as a natural living creature. His fly patterns incorporate fur, feather & hair but none of the space-age flash materials & synthetics that dominate most fly boxes today. At the age of 6, I started showing a lot of interest in fishing gear. As time went by I went fishing more, tied better flies & caught more fish. With Steelhead becoming my real passion for the last 50 years I have fished many rivers in Washington, British Columbia, Idaho, Oregon & California & enjoy teaching others to tie my favorite Grease Line Steelhead Flies.
