OK, I’m sorry, I’m like a little kid I’m so excited.
Check out the May/June issue of Fly Fishing in Saltwater magazine : )
We get just about every fishing magazine published sent to our offices and Fly Fishing in Saltwater magazine is one of a handful that I read cover to cover. I was so excited when they told me I was going to make the current cover. We had a great trip so check out the article.
Congrats on the great trip and the cover.

Very cool!
Dr. Fish,
That is a great looking pattern. How long did it take you to perfect the pattern before you felt it was a worthy fish catcher in your arsenal?
Dr. Fish,
Congratulations! Can you say “SUSHI”? Best Regards…
Your Flyer looks really cool! There are a lot of flying fish in the waters that I frequent. Hmm, I don’t have any flying fish flies… yet. :mrgreen:
Congrats on becoming a media star too, buddy! 
VERY Cool…
Nice shorts too, Doc!
Now if you can find a set of salmon colored “urban camo” shorts to match that AWESOME shirt you had at the Somerset show, you’ll be ready for the cover of GQ.
I’m proud of you, Jeff - it’s always nice to see one of the “good guys” get a little recognition.
Dr. Fish,
Congratulations on making the cover! That is a beautiful photo!

That is so cool for you to make the cover Dr. Fish! Congratulations. Great looking fish too! I’ll have to get my hands on a copy of that issue.
I tie a real realistic looking Ballyhoo for Keys Sailfish and this Flyer was an offshoot of that pattern. So, the first generation of the Flyer worked well and I’ve just made a few fine tune adjustments and having tied so darn many I’m a lot faster tying them (thank goodness). I’ve always been tying flies to as closely mimic food sources of my target fish as possible. This one is pretty darn close to the real thing and it has really proven to be a near guarantee each and every time we go offshore.
Thanks to you an everyone else for the kind words. Yeah, those shorts are a bit too hip for me to be wearing them but they are great for fishing.
Cool flying fish pattern ! Guess in the not too distant future there will be some offshore drilling near here that could rival that areas fishing. Remember fishing below highway bridges for smallies & despite the noise, there were almost always fish there. Preferred fishing away from the traffic noise for the peace & relaxation of just hearing the rivers waters call, but for that great flyrodding on a cool fishing outing, it’s got to be worth every minute of it! Don’t know how the noise compares as the only oil rigs I’ve ever heard were out in cattle & horse pasture fields? Might have to try tying some of those for the day it happens on the southern gulf coast, but in the meantime see if the flying fish pattern will make a good finger mullet imitation:!:
