After years of looking through antique shops in my area I finally stumbled onto an old wallet with four Carrie Stevens flies.
I was beside myself!!! I called Mike Martinek from the sidewalk outside the shop to help me identify certain characteristics to look for in her tying style. The flies weren't in the best of shape but I'm just so happy to have a few flies that were tied by Carrie Stevens. I sent them on to Leslie Hilyard so I could have some kind of documentation from him to save with the flies. So I have a nice letter from him on Rangeley Favorite letterhead. It's a neat thing to have. Here is the website for Streamer tiers. Many of the flies you will see on this site are Classic Maine Streamer patterns. Peggy ties these flies at the shows. She sure draws people in to our table with them. They are beautiful flies.
