CLARK PIERCE
Clark (Cheech) originally from Vernal, UT is relatively famous from his days as a steer wrestler in Elko Nevada. He ties a few flies now and again when he's not busy modeling plus size clothing. He has tied for many years, and got his start in fly design with Rainy's flies, where he created the Cheech Leech, Grumpy Frumpy, and other effective patterns. He is now an innovator for Fulling Mill, and many of his fly patterns are available through them. His most notable accomplishment in fly tying is that he once tied 65 San Juan worms in 20 minutes, and eating a Big Mac in 4 bites....

CURTIS FRY
Curtis has been tying flies for over 20 years. He learned to fish in the mountains and high deserts of Eastern Oregon targeting trout, bass, crappie and catfish. Even though he battles the little known disease of "hot dog fingers," he still has amazing dexterity while at the vise.

Welcome to Fly Tying 123! Whether its tying a tried and true classic, or creating a new work of art, you’ve come to the right place. Creativity, durability, and catchability are our focus with the flies we tie. One of our simplest goals is to tie the flies that catch the most fish. This site is a little nymph heavy for sure, but we figure that trout focus 95% of their feeding under the water’s surface, so we figured we would follow suit with out content. We are just a couple of addicted fly fishermen who love to tie our own flies. We are always searching for new patterns and new materials to bring to the tying bench.
