Today we want to Welcome an old friend to The Classic Salmon Fly, Edward "Muzzy" Muzeroll.

Muzzy was a charter member of The Classic Salmon Fly and I'm sure you will enjoy his Showcase page. Many of the flies there are of his own creation. Muzzy has been tying flies for around 12 years, Classic Atlantic Salmon flies for around 8. He started tying fishing flies for trout and progressed to hairwing salmon flies for Atlantic Salmon. As Muzzy says, "I really don’t remember what drove me to Classics, I think it was when I started getting the Atlantic Salmon Journal, with all the articles on Full Dressed Salmon flies. I have met so many great people who I now consider friends including Flip Pallot, Stu Apte, Lefty Kreh, Charlie Chute, Charlie Mann, Roger Plourde, Paul Rossman, Ed Wolfer, Paul Seymour and many more just do to the fact that I tie Classic Salmon flies".

Muzzy has been tying at shows on the East coast for quite a few years. He holds classes on tying Classics and really enjoy sharing what he has learned from trial and error and from all of his fellow tiers.

Classic Salmon Flies have been around since the mid 18th century but they have never been so popular as they are today. With the development of new, cheeper and easy to use materials anyone that can tie a descent dry fly can learn to tie a Classic Atlantic Salmon Fly in the tradition of the masters without spending a fortune on materials. From its beginning Classic Salmon Fly tiers have been first and foremost fishmen. The art of the Classic Salmon Fly began to take shape when tiers such as Edward Fitzgibbon, Francis Francis, George M. Kelson, Dr. T.E. Pryce-Tannatt and Major John Traherne wrote definitive books on the subject of Salmon Fly tying. From those begginings the art of tying salmon flies has developed into a major social art form. Tiers such as Ron Alcott, Mikael Frodin, Joe Gablick, Poul Jorgensen, Ronn Lucas, Sr., Michael Radencich, Kim Rasmussen, and Wolfgang von Malottke have carried on the craft with their books, videos, Seminars and web pages.

It is my desire to show on these web pages some of the flys of yesterday and compare them to the flys of today. I am not trying to make a judgement as to which flies are better I am only trying to show the infinite possibilities of tying the classics today. I hope this would be pleasing to both past and present Classic Salmon Fly tiers.

Not everyone on The Classic Salmon Fly is just a fly tier. Pat Tyler and Sarah Wilson do not tie The Classic Salmon Fly, they paint them. Ronn Lucas, Sr. is a writer as well as a tier. His articles and flies can be seen at Fly Anglers On Line, a must visit web site. Wolfgang von Malottke has a very special web site called "Classic Salmonflies". It was Wolfgang's site that first sparked my interest in the subject long before I ever decided to try my hand at tying Classic Salmon Flies. His site is another must visit. Kim Rasmussen owns and runs the shop Salmon Fly Aps in Copenhagen, Denmark, best known for its vast collection of high quality fly tying materials. Kim has also tied the complete selection of flies designed by Major John Traherne. Joe Gablick, "The Contented Angler" has a fantastic web site devoted to the Classic Salmon fly as well as other items of interest to the salmon fly tier. Joe's site is a must see and is worth taking a closer look at.
