| I created "Grizzly Flies by Schottsie" to either aid in your personal Fly Tying or hopefully to add to your Fly Fishing Endeavors. Plus I want to supply you the customer if you order flies, a quality fly that will hold together for more than one hit, one snag, or one fish. I reside in Southeastern, Michigan in the Dearborn Heights area. Just minutes from the famed Bronzeback waters of the Huron River. I'm originally from Holton area on the Western Side of the State of Michigan., which is minutes from the mighty Muskegon River, the White River, and just a tad farther north the Pere Marquette River. Once I left the Den of Holton Public Schools, I dabbled in a few things before I enlisted in the Marine Corps and served as Assault Gunner and Forward Observer for our Great Country. I was interested in fly tying , and about 12 years ago, I decided to jump into the arena of Fly Tying, and that was all she wrote. I started Fly Fishing after everyone was using my flies and catching fish. To this day, I have 5 of my own designed patterns that have been proven on a lot of Michigan Rivers and the Little River System in Tennessee. My first tying class was with Dave Oakley at Gander Mountain, with 3 classes. From there I have got my tying hands on various videos, magazines, and books. Plus, being in the Michigan Fly Fishing Club, I have had the honors to sit in seminars with various tyers, such as: Oscar Feliu, Barry & Cathy Beck, Dennis Potter, Joe Humphries, Jeff "Bear" Andrews, Dick Talleur, Kelly Galloup, A.K.Best, and Bob Jacklin. If you have any questions on tying or want to order flies, feel free to contact me. Tight Lines Todd "Griz" Schotts |
