Hi,

While in Yellowstone, I always stop at three shops: Blue Ribbon Flies, Arricks, and Bob Jacklin's (which used to be (many years ago) Pat Barnes' shop.

Anyway, Bob Jacklin has never quite gotten the recognition I feel he deserves. He is a great fisherman, guide, shop owner and tier. He has at least one youtube of him tying flies.

Each year I purchase another of his shadow boxes. I think they are incredibly done. Not just the fly he ties, but the frame and decoration - done by a friend of his in Idaho.

I found this one to be particularly well done. The fly is his version of the March Brown - he is pretty well known for that pattern.

The attached photo is not great, but gives an idea of his work.
