want to also give a big THANKS to FAOL and all of it members for a great site…
This has to be one of the top fly tying site on the web…
New ideas everyday…
Thanks everyone
Leonard
PS… there will be more flies coming soon… stay tuned!!
Very cool, Leonard. Can I have an autograph so I can say I knew you when? Congratulations, my friend. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving FAOLer.

Looks like a pretty nifty pattern. Congrats!
Well done Leonard! Congrats.
I fished this fly with Leonard in late June 2007. He had been working on it for a short while before I saw it.
I was in Branson for some classes on protective relays. He came over to the place on Taneycomo (Lilley’s Landing) and brought some tying stuff with him. We grilled up some grub and he showed me some flies he had been working on. The PMS was one of them.
The next evening we met up and fished Taney at night. We caught plenty of fish that evening. But the big fish of the night was a dandy brown that Leonard took on the PMS.
The fish do seem to like that fly. I’ve heard talk about it in southern MO and Arkansas.
Keep up the good work, Leonard!
