WOT 142: Tim King Part 1. Fly Tying

In this episode we WadeOutThere with Tim King from Logan Utah.  Tim learned to fly fish on the same pond he learned to play ice hockey on as a boy in Pennsylvania.  He soon began fly tying as well, inspired by the many outdoor magazines of the time.  After college in Pennsylvania, Tim moved to Utah to finish his degree in 1977.  He was 21 years old.  Tim continued to learn and fish in his new trout waters while honing his fly tying skills in an auto repair shop that also sold fly tying and rod building materials.  Tim tied professionally for years while working and fishing in Utah and Idaho.  In Part 1 of our conversation, we discuss fly tying habits, the importance of having what Tim describes as a “tying station” in your home, and the pitfalls of information overload in fly tying.For more fly fishing stories, lessons learned, and artwork check out my blog and online gallery at WadeOutThere.comNewsletter Sign-UpNew Collector DiscountWadeOutThere SubscribersGet 10% off your first order.View Jason's ArtworkThanks for listening.VR- Jason
