With 14 years of service in the United States Army, he carried his disciplined ethos into the world of fly tying. What began as a hobby in 1992 quickly became a remarkable skill that caught the attention of those around him. This evolution eventually led to his thriving enterprise, Dan's Hand-Tied Flies.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDan's ascent in the fly-tying industry follows the path of hard work and recognition earned through genuine talent. Just as he committed himself to his military service, he approached fly-tying with the same unwavering dedication. While anyone can claim to be a fly tyer, few garner the genuine respect of the guides navigating the rivers. Over the years, Dan's reputation among guides on cold and warm water streams has steadily grown, solidifying his position as a trusted name in the community. It's rare to find a fly box along the White, Norfork, Buffalo, Taneycomo, Niangua, or North Fork of the White Rivers without a touch of his craftsmanship within.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBeyond the rivers, Dan's respect extends to the Ozark fly shops and media. His flies have graced the selections of establishments like Nite Lite Outdoors, Bill's Bait \u0026amp; Tackle in Clarksville, and Gone Fishin Tackle Co in Austin, Texas. His expertise has been showcased in Warmwater Magazine, and he even appeared on Arklahoma Outdoors KFSM TV 5. You'll discover Dan's Flies in the Ozarks at renowned outlets like Wishes and Fishes Fly Shop, Two Rivers Fly Shop, and the Little Red Fly Shop.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDan stands apart from the production-oriented fly tyers. A true practitioner of the art, he can often be found on the waters of the Ozarks, skillfully casting his line with a grin of contentment. His authenticity as an Ozark Fly Tyer shines through, and his dedication to his craft is evident.
