Author Biography

Ed Engle's ground-breaking Small Flies column appeared in Fly Tyer magazine from 1996 to 2003. It opened the door for many fly fishers to the world of tying and fishing small flies. He's been opening that door wider ever since, with magazine articles and seminars at fly fishing clubs and shows throughout the United States. He initially developed his skill for fishing small flies on the South Platte River and later tested those skills on small-fly waters throughout the United States, Europe, and South America. He lives in Manitou Springs, Colorado, a short drive from the South Platte River.
