Rob encountered Boyd Waters at the 2026 Virginia Fly Fishing and Wine Festival. Boyd's 'flies' were unlike anything else at the event. Rob was astonished by the ingenuity with which deer hair was transformed into striking three-dimensional designs resembling characters from Care Bears, Spider Man, and Falcore. It's essential to check out Boyd's social media before you listen to gain a full appreciation of how he uses the same materials as everyone else, but in a unique way. His flies are for sale and yes, you can fish them if you desire. Boyd has a few unique fly tying tools to share from bobbins to hair stackers. Beyond his skills at the vise, Boyd dedicates his time to Project Healing Waters, Boy Scouts, and The Mayfly Project.
