FOTW - Some of the many contributions of Tom Deschaine.


Tom was a retired biology instructor who hailed from Westland, Michigan. He had over 30 years experience on the water and at the bench. Tom was a historian of old Michigan dry flies and their creators. His flies, tying tips and articles have appeared in such publications as American Angler, Fly Tyer, Flyfishing & Tying Journal, Trout Fisherman and Cedar Sweeper.


Tom has many patterns that are not listed on the home page, but these are the Fly of the week articles from Tom on FAOL.


For this issue's fly of the week Neil has chosen Sunset Sulfur. Think of Tom the next time you try one of these.
