well as some others.Speaking of streamers, we has a Streamer Fest here last

best a 32" brown all caught on streamers here on the White River.Can't attach

Don O this is my favorite picture of Mike. I believe this photo was taken at
the Holland Fly Fair and it really shows Mike's fun side. I will always choose
to remember him this way. He was a true character and I had the privilege of
being invited to his home in Massachusetts for a couple of his private fly
tying classes. I'm sorry to hear he passed. I will always treasure his flies
and the lessons I learned from watching him tie.Deb

I met Mike when we tied at the Holland Flyfair in ‘98. We hit it off and spent
a lot of time together while there in Holland, as he was experienced in Europe
do’s and don’t. He was quite the character and had a larger-than-life but
rough personality. We became good friends and met up again a few times over
the years at fly shows. He had a great sense of warped humor so he loved the
Baits Hotel. We tied at a table together in Denver years ago and he got to
relieve me on breaks, doing the Baits Hotel routine (which he had learned over
the years) and had a blast with his own showmanship. My Mike Martinek Jr.
Streamer Hooks now go into my collector’s box for safe keeping. When I tied my
streamers for Darren’s 365 project, Mike was the high mark to shoot for. Will
miss him. DonO From: Ron Boutin Sent: Monday, January 21, 2019 5:20 AMTo:

member but a well known tyer. He specialized in streamers and knew all about
their history. I think he may even authored a book on the subject. He tyed at
many of the shows. I watched him tie a few times, Ron

For those who knew him from the shows he passed a week or so ago at 72. He had
lived in assisted living for the past 5 years unable to get around, life in the
e fast lane caught up.
