Deb: These are beautiful.. and I looked at Carrie's page.. I take it she has now passed away??? What made you think to look in a wallet for flies?? LOL..That seems odd, but I guess things "are where they are"...What would flies like that be worth???? I'm gonna start looking at some shops around here for flies. I just never thought to look in antique shops, but it would be as good a place as any to find old flies..If I find any old flies.. Is there a place/person to send pics to to get them ID'd?? Maybe not the tier if it were not a famous tier, but the dating etc?? I bet ppl here could do that for Me though... Chuck

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.
