Over the years we've had some extremely talented people in the Blue River Fly Fishers group.
One that comes to mind is Larry Horton. Larry is a wood carver and he could take a piece of wood and fashion the most amazing image of a trout. I've seen several of Larry's creations, and just happen to own one trout carving by Larry that came courtesy of David Dillow. I think the wood sculpture I have is my most prized fly fishing possession.
Another name that comes to mind is Lane Kregel. Lane builds custom knives and one year he created a knife to donate to a fund raiser we was having in support of the catch and release area. Lane's knife went in a silent auction at a price of $125.00.
Now, we have a fellow named Wyatt Spurgin and with Wyatt it seems there's nothing he's not good at. He's a well-versed photographer, fly creator, builds his own rods, crafts his own nets, and now he has hand-crafted a fly box and tells me he is going to donate it as a give-away at the 1st Annual One Fly event.
Here's a look-see at Wyatt's creation. Good luck on winning it.
