“The first fly I tied was a wooly bugger, and then I tied 100. And then I tied 100 Light Cahills catskill style out of season on size 10 streamer hooks…There was a lot I had to learn, but I wanted to dive right in and learn everything I could. Very quickly I fell in love with the craftsmanship of tying. I started buying books, talking to locals, and watching videos. However, I noticed a lot of the online content was hard to sort through. And while books and locals are always reliable, I wanted more from the online content. I knew the information was out there, but when I found it there was little to no production quality. That production quality is the most basic requirement for content for my generation. And as charming as books, locals, and live presentations are, people in my generation will mostly go to digital content. And so I saw my calling. Arvilla Flies was made to inspire people in my generation to get outdoors and start enjoying nature, and to solve those problems I saw with online fly-tying content. So I hope to bring you quality information and production and work towards a building thorough catalog of fly tying content that will equip any fly fisherman of any age.”
