Don Bastian is a super nice guy. Fun to watch tie. I have a few of his flies around here. I have a Scarlet Ibis he tied on an eyeless hook with a gut leader. It's one of the first flies I got from him and it's really unique. Hopefully this link will get you to some of his flies. If you have time it's worth popping around and looking at the different tiers here. http://www.rareandunusual.com/tcs.html Forgotten Flies is one of the first books my husband bought me from this collection and needless to say between the streamers and the wet flies an obsession grew! So this link comes with a discloser... don't hit the button if you are just a casual tyer. Regards, Deb

If you like winged wet flies (Parmachene Belle, Leadwing Coachman, etc), then I would suspect you're in for a very educational experience. I've only seen Don tie on his DVD (available from Byard at Line's End, of course), but I would love to watch him tie in-person. He's got serious game. Enjoy! Monte Garry V.
